A 24-year-old pedestrian was injured when a bus struck her in Alicante this morning, a report from the Emergency Information and Coordination Center and the City Council confirms. The young woman received immediate medical attention at the scene from SAMU responders and members of the Basic Life Support team, and she was later taken to Sant Joan Hospital by an on-site SVB ambulance. Local police are examining the events that led to the collision to determine how it happened and whether any factors contributed to the accident.
Municipal sources indicate that the incident occurred just before noon on Jijona Boulevard, with the bus on line 13 traveling in the opposite direction of the bus lane when it hit a pedestrian near the crossing. The authorities are reviewing traffic conditions at the time and the placement of the bus lane to understand the sequence of events that resulted in the crash.

Following the report that the pedestrian remained conscious but suffered injuries, SAMU and SVB teams were dispatched to the scene to provide rapid assessment and stabilization. Medical personnel carried out immobilization measures and prepared the patient for transport as a polytrauma case, ensuring airway, breathing, and circulation were secured during care at the roadside.
The patient was transported to Sant Joan Hospital by the SVB ambulance, where hospital staff prepared for ongoing monitoring and treatment. The hospital team planned a comprehensive evaluation to address potential injuries across different body regions and to manage any complications that could arise during recovery.
Neither the bus driver nor the passengers were found to have sustained injuries according to municipal sources, though the investigation continues to determine the full scope of any impact on those aboard the vehicle. Authorities are also reviewing video footage, witness statements, and vehicle data to reconstruct the events preceding the incident and to identify any contributing factors such as speed, visibility, or road conditions.
