One worker suffered serious injuries and four others were injured after the incident, which occurred on Wednesday, November 4, in the internal roads of the wholesale market. The Municipal Police of Madrid is investigating the event.
A truck invaded the pavement where five asphalt workers were working in the Mercamadrid complex, as reported by moncloa.com, and ran them over. One of them has serious injuries, according to the report from Emergencias Madrid.
The accident occurred on Wednesday, November 4, at around 14:00 hours, in the internal roads of the wholesale complex. The workers were working next to the roadway when the vehicle veered off its path and mounted the area where they were.
The five injured are aged between 35 and 50 years and were taken to hospitals in the capital. One, with serious injuries, was admitted to the Hospital Universitario Doce de Octubre. Two moderately injured were sent to Clínico San Carlos and Gregorio Marañón, and two others with minor injuries to Hospital de La Paz. None have been identified.
In the classification of emergency services, the seriously injured person has injuries that pose a risk to life or to the function of an organ, while the minor injuries can evolve favourably with basic treatment. The initial prognosis may vary in the coming hours.
The Municipal Police of Madrid has taken over the proceedings and is preparing the report, the document that records the initial actions of the event and must establish the mechanics of the accident and the conditions of the asphalting. No confirmed arrests have been made and no suspected perpetrator has been indicated.
It remains to be clarified whether the truck was performing a loading or unloading manoeuvre and what the signage of the work area was. Emergencias Madrid has also not specified the exact point on the roads where the incident occurred or how many vehicles were involved.
