| Two of the five fatal victims of a traffic accident in Alcanar (Tarragona) yesterday were retired police officers from Badajoz.
The other male victim was a semi-retired officer while the two women were married to two of the fatal victims.
The sixth passenger in the van in which all the fatal victims were travelling, who was the wife of one of the dead men, was taken by ambulance to the Joan XXIII Hospital in Tarragona.
It seems that the son of one of the men is also a police officer. He and other members of the victims' families are making their way to Cataluña to take care of funeral arrangements.
The head-on collision between the two vehicles occured on the N-340 (km 1,061) at 4.42pm yesterday afternoon, temporarily closing both carriageways and forcing traffic to be diverted along the AP-7 toll motorway.
The van driver escaped without injury. |
