Long traffic jams this Wednesday on the A-30 and A-7 due to rain and a lorry accident
Heavy congestion reported on roads in and out of Murcia capital
A lorry accident and rainy conditions have led to significant traffic delays on the A-30 and A-7 motorways heading towards Murcia. The accident occurred at kilometre 566 on the A-7 near Nueva Condomina, causing traffic to halt. Emergency services responded to assist the injured driver, and Guardia Civil officers diverted traffic, leading to further disruption.
The rains, which began early in the morning, have prompted driver caution, adding to the congestion. Hundreds of vehicles have been caught in long queues both entering and leaving Murcia, particularly near Espinardo and UCAM University. The Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) has issued warnings for these areas, advising caution due to the wet conditions.
It comes just a day after a drink-drug driver going the wrong way down the A-30 caused a serious crash which left several people injured.
According to Aemet, the rainy weather is expected to continue, with cooler temperatures and moderate winds throughout the day.
Minimum temperatures will rise and maximum temperatures will fall, while winds blow lightly from the north, becoming easterly from midday onwards.
In terms of temperatures, for this Wednesday we can expect lows of 20ºC and highs of 23ºC in Cartagena; lows of 13ºC and highs of 19ºC in Caravaca de la Cruz; lows of 16ºC and highs of 22ºC in Lorca; lows of 14ºC and highs of 20ºC in Yecla; and lows of 18ºC and highs of 23ºC in the city of Murcia.
