Dramatic scenes as car flips over outside busy Orihuela Costa bar
The vehicle skidded to a halt on its side in front stunned customers sitting outside a La Zenia bar
Customers enjoying an afternoon drink outside the popular Alejandro's bar in La Zenia got a bit of a shock on Wednesday, November 5 when a car flipped onto its side right in front of them.
The shocking incident unfolded at around 3.15 in the afternoon on the Villamartín road, close to where it meets the roundabout at the 52 kilometre mark of the N-332. It's a busy stretch that runs past the local Emergency Centre and heads towards Zenia Boulevard shopping centre.
The driver, a young woman, found herself trapped inside the overturned vehicle and had to be pulled free. Firefighters from the Provincial Fire Consortium sent two crews to the scene and they were joined by paramedics and local police officers from Orihuela.
It took the fire crews the best part of an hour to safely extract the woman from her car, wrapping up the rescue just after 4pm.
There's been some confusion about what happened to the driver afterwards. Plenty of people who saw it all unfold claim the driver stayed put at the scene while police sorted everything out. Others are equally certain she was transferred to hospital in an ambulance after being treated by the paramedics.
Eyewitnesses reported that traffic was disrupted but the road wasn't completely blocked. One of the two lanes on the Villamartín road stayed open, allowing vehicles to pass slowly through the area. The accident happened during peak afternoon hours, causing temporary traffic jams in this busy coastal corridor.
The authorities are looking into what caused the crash, although no other vehicles are believed to have been involved.

Lords transport full or part loads from anywhere in the UK to anywhere in Spain
Lords Removals is a UK-registered international removals and storage company specializing in routes between Spain and the UK, with special relevance to customers looking to transport their household furniture to the Costa Blanca and the Costa Cálida from Great Britain.
With offices and storage facilities in England and the Region of Murcia ( Costa Cálida), Lords removals is ideally placed for transport to and from the south-east of Spain, offering a highly efficient service tailored to suit the individual requirements of customers in Murcia, Alicante, Almería and Valencia, and all amounts of furniture from single items to full loads can be arranged throughout Spain.
The advantage of transporting a full load is that a vehicle is allocated only to one customer’s requirements, whether the journey is from the UK to Murcia or vice versa. This allows a specific delivery date to be agreed 
in advance, whereas if a vehicle is shared with other customers a wider delivery window period is specified.
The actual delivery date is then confirmed a few days in advance so that arrangements can be made, and this service works out as more cost-effective and is preferred by many customers, especially those transporting single items or part loads.
Both domestic and commercial moves between the Costa Cálida, Costa Blanca or any of the other Spanish costas and the UK are catered for, and Lords removals have years of experience in the special needs for transporting such diverse items as motorcycles, fragile goods and household appliances.
To make life easier Lords provide an online calculator which will provide you with an estimate of how much 
your move will cost, reaching an estimate of how many cubic metres your shipment will occupy and the approximate associated costs. Items can vary in size, of course, but the estimate will supply a ballpark figure to work with before making the move from the UK to Spain or in the other direction.
In order to make moving house as stress-free as possible, Lords also offer a fully professional packing service. Customers can of course opt to pack their own items, and Lords will provide materials if required, but you need to be aware that most insurance companies will not provide cover for objects not packed by the removals firm.
During their years of providing transport between Murcia and the UK the Lords staff have gained experience in packing all kinds of items, including antiques, fine arts, polished furniture, and fragile and delicate items, so for peace of mind the recommendation is to leave the job in the hands of the professionals.
Worldwide shipping and expert packing services
In addition to their regular weekly trips between Spain and the UK, Lords Removals now offers worldwide shipping that’s fast, efficient and reliable. Their team can accommodate short-notice enquiries and ensure your items are shipped promptly, wherever they need to go.
With an extensive fleet of vehicles, from small vans to HGVs with articulated trailers, they can handle loads of any size. Whether it’s a single item or a full household move, Lords Removals has the resources and experience to get it safely from door to door.
And for those looking for the highest level of service, Lords Removals also offers premium package options. Clients can contact them directly to discuss the different packing and removal services available, each designed to offer extra peace of mind during what can be a stressful time.

Storage
Apart from their competitively priced and fully professional removals service, Lords also provide storage at their 
secure, clean and dry premises in Alhama de Murcia, within easy reach of the whole of the Region of Murcia and the Costa Cálida area. The storage facility is fully enclosed, secure and is located on a privately owned industrial estate.
The storage service is available to anyone, not only customers who also contract moving or removals with Lords, so if you have storage needs for whatever reason you can contact them.
Stored items are palleted and/or placed in large storage containers, and are wrapped in protective materials as and when required. The premises are covered by 24-hour security and surveillance, and full insurance is in place for fire and theft, taking away the worry of leaving your private possessions in the care of others: the company can also pick up and deliver stored items, and a full packing service is also offered throughout the Region of Murcia and south-eastern Spain.
The storage service offered by Lords is priced competitively based on the number of cubic metres your possessions occupy, with standard pick-up and packing charges added when appropriate. Insurance costs are included in the quoted price, and for large volumes discount rates can be applied.
