This incident shocks the public and raises questions about road safety in Spain once again.
The Fateful Chase: What Really Happened?
Around 5:30 AM, the drama began. After the robbery of a pharmacy in the northwest of Málaga, the alleged perpetrators and law enforcement engaged in a chase that led towards Torremolinos on the A-7. The exact circumstances of the accident are still subject to intensive investigation by the Guardia Civil, but initial findings paint a shocking picture.
Head-on Collision with Fatal Consequences
According to reports from the newspaper “Sur,” it appears that the attackers’ getaway vehicle was driving the wrong way on the highway. This led to a devastating head-on collision.
