Four people were injured when a minibus went off the road near Cabo Silleiro in Baiona (Pontevedra), very close to the Atlantic Ocean. The vehicle overturned and fell on some rocks that prevented it from descending towards the sea, although it remained in an unstable position. The injured are the three passengers and the driver, who had to be extricated because the bent iron and the position in which the minibus was parked prevented them from getting out. Civil Guard sources have said there was a risk the bus would have rolled into the sea.

The Lugove bus operated between the towns of Baiona and A Guarda. Around 10 a.m., while driving at km 22 of the PO-552 road, a steep road that runs along the coast, the minibus left the road, overcame a wall and overturned on the rocks where it had already stopped raised wheels, in an unstable position and risk of capsizing and rolling towards the sea, in an area with little bumps.

The Efe Agency states that it was a seaman who informed the Civil Guard about the event. When agents arrived at the Baredo site, they found that two passengers had gotten out under their own power while two others were trapped: the driver, who was conscious, and a woman, who was injured in one hip. . The intervention of the fire brigade was necessary to first secure the vehicle and prevent it from rolling and falling into the sea, and later to free the two people trapped, who suffered injuries of varying degrees of severity.
The mayor of Baiona, Carlos GĂłmez, has explained that the minibus was stopped at the first rock of the rocks, which according to him “prevented a disaster that could have been greater”. âAs serious as it could have been, it ended up being a horror,â said the mayor of the Europa Press agency. The driver and an injured woman were trapped in the bus and had to be freed by the fire department.
