Three People Die in Separate Traffic Crashes in Madrid Region
Three people lost their lives in separate traffic incidents on Thursday in Madrid. The events occurred in the towns of Móstoles and Estremera, according to officials from the Community of Madrid 112, who relayed the details to EFE.
In Móstoles, a head‑on collision between two cars claimed the life of a 40‑year‑old woman and her daughter. The crash involved multiple trauma, particularly affecting the mother and the younger daughter who did not survive the impact. A second daughter was in the same vehicle and was transported to Octubre Hospital at noon; authorities later reported her condition as stable but potentially serious. Madrid City Firefighters worked to free three individuals who were trapped inside the vehicle. The other car involved in the incident had two occupants who escaped injury and did not require medical transport. The collision occurred on Río Jalón street in Móstoles.
In the second crash, a 54‑year‑old woman died from multiple injuries following a collision involving two vehicles. The incident unfolded at the 10th kilometer of the M-241 highway in the municipality of Estremera. In the other vehicle involved, a 61‑year‑old man sustained minor bruises and was taken to a hospital in Arganda del Rey. These updates come from the same regional sources.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding both crashes. Officials emphasize road safety and urge drivers to exercise caution, particularly in urban streets and on regional highways where vehicle speeds and traffic patterns can change quickly. Local emergency services and police are coordinating to determine if weather, road conditions, or driver factors contributed to the accidents. (Source: Comunidad de Madrid 112, relayed to EFE).
