Two Britons, a man and a woman, have died after their car fell down a ravine

Two Britons, a man and a woman, have died after their car fell down a ravine, and a third person, a woman, was slightly injured. She informed the authorities of the accident but was also trapped in the vehicle until the fire service arrived from Cartagena.

A translator was needed on the 112 emergency services as the caller could not speak any Spanish. An ambulance from the SMS took her to the Torre Pacheco Health Centre. The health professionals confirmed the deaths of the man and the woman at the scene.

It happened on Monday evening on the road which runs between Fuente Álamo and La Aljorra, in an area known as La Manchica. The car fell down a drop of some 3 metres landing on its roof. First reports say that no other vehicle was involved in the accident.
It took the fire service for more than an hour to lift the car back onto the road.
