A GALICIA woman was stuck in her parked car for six hours after her boyfriend forgot about her, locked it and went home, says the Guardia Civil.
The couple had just come back from a wedding – not their own – and, after parking the car in their pictured home town of Bueu (Pontevedra province), the man locked it and went back to his house.
He had not noticed his girlfriend was inside.
She was trapped there until the next morning when a local resident saw her calling for help from inside the vehicle, and rang the 112 emergency hotline.
Police traced the car-owner and went to his house to pick up the keys.
When the young woman was finally freed, she insisted her being locked into the car was not a deliberate act of malice, but that her partner had not realised she was there.
For that reason, she declined to press charges.
The exact circumstances, and how she came to be in the car without her boyfriend noticing, have not been clarified.
