Three people died in a multi-vehicle collision on the A-355 near Coin
Three individuals lost their lives in a series of crashes on the A-355, around 13:15, as the road passes through Coin, near the four-kilometre mark toward Marbella. Information from the Provincial Firefighters Consortium (CPB) indicates that a chain-reaction collision involved three cars and a truck, prompting emergency response as soon as 112 services were notified. The scene required swift coordination among rescue teams to address victims trapped inside vehicles.
The incident left the wreckage of one car prominently described at the location, with CPB officials confirming significant damage to the vehicles involved. The response included Civil Guards, 061 paramedics, Coin Local Police, and CPB technicians who concentrated efforts on rescuing those trapped in the wreckage. A total of three passenger cars were destroyed in the crash, and three people were pronounced deceased at the scene. A fourth person, another driver involved in the sequence, sustained no injuries and was able to exit the vehicle unscathed.
According to authorities, the scene also required heavy emergency intervention to manage casualties and ensure public safety. The CPB noted that responders worked to extricate individuals from the damaged vehicles and provide immediate medical care while maintaining safety on the roadway for other motorists. The event has precipitated a major disruption to traffic in both directions, with responders continuing to manage the site as investigations proceed and victims are identified and notified.
As more information from the Provincial Traffic Directorate becomes available, traffic control measures were adjusted in real time. The A-355 remains closed while a full clearance operation is conducted to remove the wreckage and restore normal traffic flow. Motorists are urged to seek alternate routes and follow police guidance until the site is cleared and road traffic data returns to normal levels. Additional updates will be provided as authorities complete the on-scene assessment and any necessary investigations unfold.
