Two people sustained injuries when a crash occurred on the AP-7 at the summit area near El Campello, according to the Center for Emergency Information and Coordination CICU this Friday. The incident involved a collision between a car and a pickup truck at kilometer 672, in what authorities described as an unusual sequence of events for that stretch of road. Emergency crews were dispatched promptly, including units from the Emergency Medical Care Service SAMU and the Basic Life Support SVB team, both arriving at the scene to provide rapid assistance.
Paramedics assessed the occupants and provided initial care at the roadside before transporting them to medical facilities for further treatment. The first patient, a head injury victim, was stabilized and transported by an advanced life support ambulance to Marina Baixa Hospital in La Vila Joiosa to receive continued monitoring and imaging. The second injured person, a 55-year-old man with multiple contusions, was transported by a CVB ambulance to Sant Joan d’Alacant hospital for comprehensive evaluation and care. The health teams coordinated closely with local hospital authorities to ensure a smooth handover and swift access to imaging and trauma services.
Officials noted that the crash occurred early in the morning, with responders arriving quickly to manage triage, control traffic, and support the affected individuals. The swift intervention by SAMU and SVB aimed to minimize the risk of complications and to stabilize the patients before transfer. CICU continues to monitor road conditions and traffic updates in the area to ensure quick access for any follow-up medical needs and to assist families and drivers who might have encountered the incident. The incident underlines the importance of emergency readiness and the coordinated effort of regional medical services in handling such incidents on major highways. (CICU)
