According to reports from this newspaper, a 63-year-old man who drove to work early in the morning died in the Villaverde district of Madrid in a traffic accident caused by the driver of another vehicle who fled from the police spokesman for the National Police and the Madrid Emergencies. The three suspected criminals who were in the accident car were also slightly injured in the accident. The three were taken to a hospital where they are being treated in police custody.
The pursuit began near the Mónaco de Villaverde nightclub, a warehouse on Avenida Real de Pinto, in the heart of the Marconi industrial area. There, two 20-year-old Spanish youths and another 24-year-old are said to have just attacked a vehicle parked on the street, a black Citroën.
A police van patrolling the area bumped into them and when the young people got nervous and “started doing strange things,” officers became suspicious and tried to stop them. The suspected thieves fled and a chase ensued that soon ended in tragedy.
The fatal accident happened just 850 meters from the discotheque, at 46 Valle de Tobalina street, a two-way one-way street that also branches off from the Marconi industrial area, just before six in the morning, an hour when women could already be seen , as she practices prostitution in the area.
The occupants of the stolen car, Emergencies explained, were driving up this road at full speed when the driver lost control of the vehicle and collided with a tree. The car was thrown and hit another white car traveling down the same street from the front and side.

Both cars were completely destroyed by the impact. The worst part was handled by this tourist’s driver, a 63-year-old man who police said was “on his way to work” and suffered cardiac arrest. When he was unconscious, firefighters from the Madrid Municipality, who arrived first with the police, tore his belt, rescued him and began CPR until Samur troops arrived. After 45 minutes of trying to recover it, the Samur toilets confirmed the victim’s death.
The three suspected criminals, of whom the police did not say whether they have a criminal record, suffered minor injuries and bruises. One of them, 20 years old, was taken to the 12 de Octubre hospital by the Samur because he was bleeding from a wound on his face. State police took over the other two inmates and also took them to the same hospital, where the three are being held while they are being treated. The police are investigating the incident, and the city police are also involved in the investigation.

On Thursday, another serious event took place on the streets of Madrid: an accident that nearly killed a 22-year-old girl. According to a spokeswoman for Madrid Emergencies, the woman was preparing to cross Arturo Soria street in the Ciudad Lineal district at number 243, near “a crosswalk regulated by traffic lights”. It is not known whether the traffic light for pedestrians was red or green.
At that moment, the young woman was hit by a vehicle driven by a woman and seriously injured. Due to the impact, which was “quite strong”, she suffered cardiovascular arrest and the first to take care of her were officers from the Madrid Metropolitan Police who tried to revive her. The victim suffered “multiple injuries throughout his body, including a serious one to his head.” The Samur toilets managed to reverse the stalemate and after she stabilized she was taken to La Paz Hospital where she was admitted in a very, very serious condition. A Samur psychologist treated the driver of tourism who was embroiled in an anxiety crisis.
In addition, there were such incidents in the early morning hours from Thursday to Friday a collision between an electric motorcycle, driven by a 29-year-old man, and a VTC vehicle on Velázquez Street in the Chamartín district. The motorcyclist may have been misled and crashed into the rear of the vehicle. The young man suffered “a serious head injury, an open fracture of the leg and possible pelvic trauma.” El Samur intubated him, stabilized him and transferred him to Gregorio Marañón in a serious manner.
