The Civil Guard’s inquiry into the death of a 42-year-old German national in Parcent has concluded that a restraining order against the man’s former partner was in place at the time and that the incident resulted in a fatal accident. The man died last Saturday after a vehicle struck him while he was attempting to push-start his own car. He was crushed when his hands came into contact with the moving vehicle on a slope, ending the sequence of events that began with a protection order.
The investigation, which followed a complaint filed the previous day by the woman who had issued the restraining order, notes that she is a mother of six, with three children from the deceased. The inquiry confirms that the man had breached the protective order and approached the complainant’s residence to collect personal belongings, only to be turned away and sent back home.
The body was discovered by a passerby around 23:50 last Saturday in the vicinity of the area where a patrol from the Xaló Civil Guard was conducting routine surveillance. While the protective measures linked to the complaint were being observed, officers monitoring the situation observed the vehicle in the roadway leading to the complainant’s home and subsequently conducted a full assessment of the scene.
Authorities say the car appears to have been started with the aim of moving uphill on a slightly inclined surface. With no functioning handbrake and after stopping in front of it, the man attempted to halt the vehicle using his hands and was fatally crushed when the car moved forward. The investigators’ data indicate that the deceased may have believed he could stop the vehicle manually because he had to approach from behind and could not open the front door to engage the handbrake properly. The resulting tragedy underscores the dangers involved when moveable vehicles are left without a secure handbrake on a slope. The reconstruction of events continues as experts assess the mechanics of the vehicle and the sequence of actions that led to the fatal outcome.
In summarizing the case, authorities emphasize that the incident underscores the seriousness of breaching protective orders and the potential consequences when emotions and risky decisions intersect with vehicle movement on an incline. The investigation remains ongoing to determine all contributing factors and to provide a clear, detailed account for the case file. Sources from the giving authorities and on-site examinations confirm the steps taken by patrol units and rescue services in the moments surrounding the tragedy. The reporting of the incident is based on formal statements from the Civil Guard and on-site findings by the fire brigade and related emergency services. These records will be consolidated into the judicial process as investigators continue to piece together the exact timeline and actions that culminated in the fatal accident and to ensure that all parties receive appropriate accountability through the legal system.
