A collision between two vehicles that have overturned has forced the activation of emergency services this afternoon on the AP-7, at kilometer point 63.10 northbound. The alert was received at 5:08 PM and has mobilized the Firefighters and police forces, who have intervened to secure the area and regulate traffic.
Restrictions on the AP-7 and traffic jams of three kilometers
The incident has caused the restriction of circulation on that stretch of the highway. Part of the roadway has been rendered unusable by the position of the overturned vehicles and by the tasks of the emergency services. Only one lane remains operational in the northbound direction, which has generated traffic jams of approximately three kilometers and intermittent stops as drivers approached the accident site.
Intervention of emergency services and situation of the injured
According to police sources, two people could present serious injuries. For the moment, no fatal victims have been reported. The accident has occurred due to causes that have not yet transcended and the police will have to clarify what happened and how the collision occurred.
The Firefighters have intervened to stabilize the vehicles and facilitate operations in the area. The police forces have regulated traffic and have maintained operational access for emergency teams. The most visible impact has occurred on traffic, with a significant reduction in passing capacity in the northbound direction.
Evolution of the situation and normalization of traffic
The situation on the AP-7 remains conditioned by the evolution of the incident and by the need to guarantee a safe passage during the operations. Traffic remains slowed and normalization will depend on the removal of the vehicles and the completion of emergency tasks.
