A 35-year-old driver lost his life in a single-vehicle crash that happened when the car veered off the road and collided with a palm tree. The incident occurred in the early hours, around 00:25 on Monday, on the CV-905 highway near the city of Torrevieja. The emergency services were alerted when the vehicle struck the palm-lined stretch close to the residential zones known as Lemon Grove and La Siesta. The car left the roadway, crossed the shoulder, and ended up near the central lanes, a four-lane section flanked by palm trees that divides this route.
The impact disrupted the four-lane corridor that links Torrevieja with the southern exit toward AP-7, Benijófar, and Rojales. The area is a key entry and exit point for the city, and the posted speed limit along this segment is 50 kilometers per hour.

A SAMU unit was dispatched to the scene to provide advanced medical care. The medical team performed extensive cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other life-saving interventions, yet there was no sign of life, and the individual was pronounced deceased on site. Local Police and Civil Guard officers collaborated in the initial response and investigation.
This stretch of CV-905 forms a crucial artery between Torrevieja and the southern gateways to the AP-7, serving as a primary route for commuters and travelers. In this area, maintenance crews have recently renewed medians, removed fencing, and installed new drip irrigation systems as part of ongoing road improvements. Authorities remind drivers to stay alert in residential corridors and to adhere strictly to the reduced speed limit to enhance safety for all road users.
The local authorities continue to investigate the sequence of events leading to the crash, including vehicle dynamics, road conditions, and any contributing factors. Witness statements, traffic data, and autopsy results will be compiled to determine a clear understanding of the incident and to guide future safety measures along this highway.
Residents and travelers alike are urged to exercise patience as authorities manage the scene, provide updates, and complete the on-site assessment. Temporary traffic adjustments may be implemented to facilitate the work of emergency responders and the ongoing investigation, with the aim of minimizing disruption to those who rely on this vital corridor.
