Spanish actress Beatriz Álvarez-Guerra, 28, died in a car accident in Pontevedra, in the Rías Baixas region. The tragedy last Tuesday afternoon when her boyfriend’s 24-year-old car crashed into the Almorfei de Cotobade river in the province of Pontevedra. A flight of about ten meters, in a stretch of road with tight curves in a row. The first reconstructions speak of a driving error.
The young man managed to get out of the car and free his partner as well, to no avail. He also asked for help from other motorists, who had stopped to help and jumped into the river. But it was all for nothing. The car had overturned during the fall, the water was cloudy from the impact and the spilled fuel prevented Beatriz from being retrieved in time.
The rescue services that intervened on the spot could not help but determine the death of the young actress who was trapped in the car. The boy was also rescued but his condition was good. After the incident, the 24-year-old, who lives in Madrid but is originally from a community near the crash site, was arrested: the Civil Guard found he did not have a driver’s license. When questioned, he exercised his right not to answer and was charged with manslaughter and traffic violations. His identity has not been disclosed.
The Iberian public knew Beatriz Alvaréz-Guerra mainly because she starred in the film 10 pelis from 2011, in the short film Te fuiste antes que el tiempo from 2022, in some episodes of the Anclados- Series. After so many years of apprenticeship, even in the theater, the girl wanted to become the rising star of Spanish cinema. A dream that ended in the Almorfei river.
