ARCHIVED - One dead and four injured in horror head-on crash in Andalucia
Two of the wounded are in intensive care following the fatal smash in Pizarra, Málaga province
A 22-year-old Romanian has died in a tragic head-on collision in Pizarra, Málaga province, on Sunday October 31.
Four other people were injured in the crash, two of them in a critical condition in ICU at Málaga Regional Hospital, and another is being treated for serious injuries at the Hospital Clínico.
The accident happened at around 8am on the A-357, at kilometre 44, according to Emergencias 112 Andalucía, which received several calls from passersby alerting them to the horror smash.
Witnesses reported a head-on collision between a car and a van, claiming one of the injured passengers was trapped inside one of the vehicles.
The emergency services immediately deployed the Guardia Civil's Traffic Unit, the fire brigade, Civil Protection and health services, and one of the victims had to be airlifted to hospital due to "their serious condition".
Meanwhile, firefighters rescued the trapped victim from one of the mangled vehicles.
Emergency sources confirmed a total of four people were involved in the traffic accident, including the local young man who sadly died despite attempts by the medical staff to resuscitate him.
For the moment, the ages of the wounded have not been revealed; however, sources have confirmed that they are all male, and only one of them sustained minor injuries.
The Guardia Civil has opened an investigation into the crash and are "focusing on the analysis of tyre marks to determine the cause of the accident".
