A serious accident involving three cars yesterday morning (Tuesday) resulted in seven people being injured, including a three-year-old girl, and the main A-367 road to Campilllos in the Serranía de Ronda being closed.
The head-on collision happened at around 10:45am at kilometre 21 of the A-367, between Cañete La Real and Cuevas del Becerro, which led to several ambulances and a medical helicopter dispatched to the scene, as reported by 112 Andalucía.
As a result of the accident, firemen had to cut three people from inside the damaged vehicles before they could be tended to and taken to hospital for further treatment.
The A-367 road was temporarily closed in both directions while a medical helicopter landed on the road, with traffic diverted through the municipality of Cuevas del Becerro, and then at 1:05pm, the DGT reported that one lane had been reopened, and alternate passage past the accident was being given to vehicles in both directions.
Fortunately, there were no fatalities reported, and the speed and efficiency of the emergency services have been praised in dealing with the incident.
