ARCHIVED - Traffic accident on the A-30 in Murcia leaves one dead and huge traffic jams
A serious road accident between three cars left one person dead and two more injured this Wednesday afternoon
A collision between three vehicles around 4.30pm yesterday, Wednesday November 30, caused a huge traffic jam on the A-30 in Murcia, going towards Cartagena. There were three victims in the crash, one of them seriously injured and another who died.
The crash took place between the exit of the Barrio del Carmen and Murcia Centro, and medical staff spent over two hours working at the scene to help the victims, performing CPR on one of the people for at least 40 minutes, but to no avail.
Two men, 25 and 55 years old, have been transferred to the General Hospital Morales Meseguer and the Virgen de la Arrixaca, respectively. Another man, 49 years old, lost his life after going into cardiorespiratory arrest. Investigators are considering the possibility that he had suffered a heart attack while at the wheel, which caused the accident.
The collision and the shutting off of the road meant huge tailbacks on the A-30 while Police cut off the Cartagena del Malecón exit.
