A motorbike hit two persons at the bus stop on Calle Reyes Católicos in Alicante yesterday, Monday April 20th. The police are investigating whether a taxi, allegedly found by the National Police, hit the motorbike before the collision and left the scene without stopping, as some witnesses claim. But some reports say the taxi did not hit the motorcycle prior.
A SAMU (Emergency Medical Service) ambulance and another one from Basic Life Support arrived on the spot. The injured women were treated by a 54-year-old woman who was seriously hurt and taken to the Doctor Balmis General Hospital in Alicante. Her daughter was also taken to the same hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The other injured woman, aged 39 and who was driving the motorbike, was transferred to Sant Joan d’Alacant Hospital with fractures. The two women suffered several injuries, aged 54 and 39, according to the Emergency Information and Coordination Center (CICU).
At a bus stop
The accident took at around 2:00 PM in the bus and taxi lane of Calle Reyes Católicos. Sources close to the investigation said that a scooter drove into a bus stop and struck a 54-year-old Belarusian mother with her child. The mother and the scooter driver were both injured and lying on the sidewalk. The daughter was only slightly harmed.
The first to arrive at the scene of the collision were officers of the National Police, later joined by agents of the Local Police, the agency responsible for drawing up the report of the accident.
An ambulance of SAMU and another of SVB also arrived, whose medical staff assisted the injured women on the sidewalk of the street before proceeding to their transport to hospitals.
According to information obtained at the scene of the tragedy, a taxi may have hit the motorbike before it spun out of control and hit the passengers at the bus stop. However, the Local Police will try to verify this with the help of traffic cameras or other measures to clarify the facts of the accident.
