A pair of tragic incidents unfolds in the region, leaving a 66-year-old man dead and an eight-year-old girl injured
A serious crash claimed the life of a 66-year-old man on a Friday morning, followed by another accident that involved a child in El Campello. The incidents occurred within hours of each other, casting a somber shadow over the morning in the nearby towns of Parcent and El Campello.
In Parcent, the fatal collision happened around 8:30 a.m. on the CV-750 road, within the municipal area. Local authorities from the Center for Emergency Information and Coordination confirmed the location and timing, giving a precise account of where the tragedy occurred. Emergency responders arrived quickly, with a SAMU ambulance unit and a medical helicopter dispatched to the scene as part of a state-wide support effort. Medical personnel conducted multiple rescue maneuvers in an attempt to revive the 66-year-old rider, but despite their best efforts, the man did not regain consciousness and was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident has prompted ongoing inquiries into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
The second incident occurred less than three hours later on Sant Bartomeu Street in El Campello. A vehicle struck an eight-year-old girl, and the details behind the collision were still under investigation by authorities at the time of reporting. Emergency services responded promptly, with SAMU and Basic Life Support teams mobilized to assist. The girl sustained contusions and possible injuries to the shoulder and was transported to Hospital de Sant Joan d’Alacant by SVB ambulance for further evaluation and treatment.
Both events highlight the immediate dangers faced on regional roadways and the essential role of emergency medical services in stabilizing patients and transporting them to trauma facilities. Investigations continue to determine factors such as speed, visibility, vehicle condition, and driver behavior that may have contributed to the crashes. Local law enforcement urged residents to exercise caution while traveling and to report any information that could aid investigators in reconstructing the moments leading up to the accidents.
In the aftermath of these incidents, officials urged the community to remain vigilant on the roads and to support the families affected by the crashes. Road safety campaigns and traffic safety checks are often intensified after such events to prevent future tragedies and ensure that help arrives as quickly as possible when emergencies occur. While the specifics of each incident are still under review, the immediate priority remains clear: provide medical care to those injured and determine the exact causes to avert similar occurrences in the future.
