A 17-year-old minor who was driving his father’s car evaded a National Police checkpoint in Fuengirola, leading to a dramatic chase that stretched toward Málaga. During the pursuit, the teen collided with five police vehicles and ultimately crashed into a traffic sign. Police sources say the incident began with the risky decision to flee, setting off a sequence that involved aggressive driving, near-misses with officers, and a vehicle that showed a troubling disregard for road safety. The minor was part of a group in the car, and the authorities report that the vehicle’s reckless maneuvers culminated in the crash that followed the high-speed chase. The situation required urgent police action to protect other road users and officers on duty [Police sources].
Authorities indicate that the boy and three other occupants were ultimately arrested. The car reportedly traveled in the wrong direction through several streets and even mounted a median before the collision. After the crash, the 17-year-old tested positive for alcohol in the breath analysis, highlighting the dangers of underage drinking and impaired driving. The group was taken into custody and transported to police facilities for processing, with the minor expected to be transferred to the juvenile system and the others to the ordinary jurisdiction [Police sources].
The chase began around 05:45 in Fuengirola, as officers monitored traffic toward Málaga. The suspect sped along more than 30 kilometers on the A-7, attempting to forcefully push away several pursuing units and creating a hazardous situation on the highway. The event underscores how quickly a routine moment can escalate into a dangerous incident requiring coordinated responses from multiple police agencies [Police sources].
Local Police units from Málaga began to join the pursuit after the vehicle left the vicinity of the airport, continuing to converge with National Police units. The pursuit culminated when law enforcement reached the suspect’s vehicle on Avenida de Velázquez in Málaga, where officers managed to intercept and stop the car, bringing the dangerous sequence to an end and safeguarding nearby pedestrians and motorists [Police sources].
At the decisive moment, the pursued vehicle again jumped the median and collided with a traffic sign, marking a violent turning point in the incident. The crash prompted law enforcement to secure the scene and ensure medical attention for any injured parties, while the occupants were arrested and questioned at police facilities [Police sources].
The arrested individuals were later processed at police facilities, with the minor slated for transfer to juvenile authorities and the others to the standard jurisdiction, according to official statements. The case remains under investigation as authorities review the sequence of events, the actions of the occupants, and the exact charges to be filed in relation to reckless driving, evading law enforcement, and illegal alcohol use by a minor [Police sources].
