Three people were injured in a traffic crash on the AP-7 near Benidorm, a collision confirmed by the Guardia Civil de Tre1fico. At around 1:00 PM, authorities were alerted to a crash at kilometer 648.8 of the AP-7, inside the municipality of Benidorm. Two vehicles collided, and the reasons for the impact were still under investigation as investigators reviewed road conditions, vehicle data, and witness statements. Responders from the Guardia Civil de Tre1fico arrived at the scene along with three ambulances to begin medical care and triage. The occupants of the vehicle involved received rapid assessment, and the injured were transported to hospitals in La Vila Joiosa and Alicante for further treatment. Extrication was not yet required at that moment, but responders stood ready to intervene if required, and traffic safety measures were put in place to protect emergency personnel and other road users while a plan for evacuation and medical transfer was coordinated.
Firefighters from the Alicante Provincial Consortium, based in Benidorm, later intervened to extricate two occupants from one of the wrecked vehicles. Using hydraulic cutting tools and stabilization gear, they worked to release the trapped individuals and handed them over to medical teams for transport to hospital facilities. The operation demanded careful coordination with police units to keep the scene secure and to protect the integrity of evidence. Once freed, the patients were loaded into ambulances and moved to hospitals in the region for specialized treatment. The extrication effort occurred while other responders continued initial medical care for the remaining occupants and assessed potential hazards at the site.
Meanwhile, officers from the Benidorm Local Police and the Guardia Civil de Tre1fico coordinated traffic on one carriageway of the motorway. They directed vehicle flow, established a safety perimeter, and ensured that responders could operate with minimal disruption. Their presence helped maintain order on the highway while the medical teams prepared for patient transfers and the road remained partially open to traffic after the collision. The scene management aimed to prevent secondary incidents and to keep bystanders at a safe distance from the ongoing rescue operations.
Following the incident, a broad emergency response was activated. The deployment included multiple units from the Benidorm Local Police, the Guardia Civil de Tre1fico, road maintenance services, and medical teams equipped with SAMU and SVB ambulances. A commanding vehicle from the fire service coordinated the effort, supported by an urban pump truck and a dedicated rescue operations van. Firefighters, police, and medical personnel worked side by side to stabilize the area, assist victims, and safeguard the corridor for passing traffic. The coordinated deployment reflected a well-practiced approach to serious incidents on major motorways in the region and demonstrated the readiness of local and regional services to collaborate under pressure.
Investigations into the circumstances of the crash would continue as authorities gathered information from the scene. There were no publicly released details about the current condition of the injured at this time, and once the situation allowed, authorities planned to review vehicle data, road conditions, and witness statements to determine how the collision occurred on the AP-7 near Benidorm. The Guardia Civil de Tre1fico remained in charge of leading the inquiry, with local police supporting traffic control to minimize disruption while ensuring safety for all responders and motorists.
