A spectacular accident occurred last night on the Santa Eulària road, when an Audi A6 Avant 4×4, with 3.0 TDI engine, lost control, crossed into the opposite lane and fell down a drop of one and a half meters.
The vehicle was completely wrecked, wedged between a block wall and the shoulder, making the rescue of the driver particularly difficult.
Minor injuries and rescue from the rubble
Despite the violence of the impact, the sole occupant of the vehicle suffered only minor injuries and multiple contusions.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene, where they found the driver trapped inside the car. After several minutes of work, they managed to free her and provide medical assistance at the scene of the accident.
Fortunately, his condition is not serious, although further details on his evolution are unknown.
A wrecked vehicle and a complex rescue operation
The Audi A6 was in such a state that the insurance company declared it a total loss. The car was removed this afternoon, around 4:00 p.m., when the operation was authorized.
Two Grúas Ibiza roadside assistance teams were involved in the complex maneuver, which lasted approximately one hour. Since the car was in a difficult position to remove, it was necessary to use a boom crane to lift and remove it.
To ensure safety during the operation, the Santa Eulària Municipal Police closed one of the lanes of the road until the work was completed.
What caused the accident?
At this time, authorities have not provided information on the possible causes of the accident. It is not known whether the driver lost control due to speeding, distraction or mechanical failure.
