A 10-year-old girl died this Saturday in Córdoba, after a head-on collision on the A-318 road and four other people suffered injuries of varying severity, in an accident that occurred at kilometer 67 of said road, where two vehicles collided head-on, according to the Andalusian Emergency Agency. After the alarm, a helicopter and ambulances from Baena, Luque, Cabra and Doña Mencía intervened in the emergency, mobilized by the 061 Health Emergency Center. SAS sources confirmed the death of the minor and the number of injured. But this has not been the only incident on a Saturday with numerous events. In Galicia, a cyclist has died in Cangas do Morrazo (Pontevedra) this Saturday, after suffering a fall on the EP-1002 road at kilometer 4 in the Erbello area, parish of Aldán. It was a person passing by who found the cyclist unconscious and contacted the emergency services. The health team could only certify his death. In Real Sitio de San Ildefonso (Segovia), a woman died when her home caught fire at number 17 Melancholy Street. The event occurred shortly after 9:30. The Civil Guard, Provincial Firefighters, and personnel from Emergencias Sanitarias-Sacyl responded to the emergency, who could only confirm the death of the person found inside the building. The firefighters completed the extinguishing and located the victim inside. Investigation into the explosion in Carabanchel


This Friday, in addition, one person has died and nine have been injured after the explosion that has shaken a residential building in the Madrid district of Carabanchel. The event, which took place on Azcoitia street, collapsed the fourth floor and has seriously affected the inhabitants of the building.

Initial investigations point to a gas explosion as the most likely cause of the incident, a hypothesis that both the Deputy Mayor of Madrid, Inma Sanz, and the Government Delegate, Francisco Martín, have publicly supported after visiting the scene. Specialists from the National Police’s Scientific Unit will be responsible for gathering evidence to clarify the origin of the collapse as soon as safety conditions allow. At the time of the incident, at number 36 Azcoitia Street, exterior cladding work was being carried out, for which scaffolding had been installed on the facade. However, no person linked to these works was present when the explosion occurred, as explained to EFE by the duty supervisor of the Madrid Fire Department, José Luis Legido. Although the first hypotheses rule out that these cladding works have directly intervened in what happened, the residents of the adjacent building, number 34, have told the same news agency that an intervention was being carried out there to separate the gas pipes. The impact of the explosion has forced the evacuation of the residents of numbers 36 and 38 on Azcoitia Street, buildings with four floors and 16 dwellings each, which share a common access.
