A five-year-old boy was struck on a street in Calp, located in País Valencià, and the impact left him unconscious for a brief moment before he regained consciousness. He sustained injuries to the head and multiple contusions, prompting immediate medical attention. A physician from the Calp health center joined the Basic Life Support team at the scene, and an additional ambulance from SAMU was dispatched. Medical professionals quickly stabilized the child, and the SAMU crew arranged for his transfer to a hospital for further evaluation and care at Dénia Hospital.
The incident occurred around 14:00, when the boy was crossing the road near a football field and sporting facilities. Reports indicate there was no designated pedestrian crossing at that intersection. The event was verified by sources consulted for this publication. The child’s mother experienced an anxiety attack in the aftermath. Observers noted that traffic on this street typically moves at a slow pace, yet the absence of a marked crossing point likely contributed to the danger faced by pedestrians in that area.
Emergency responders, including several patrol units from the Local Police and the Civil Guard, arrived promptly at the scene. Following initial assessment, additional ambulances were deployed to provide advanced support. The SVB unit had a physician available to assist with immediate clinical decisions and stabilization before transport.
