Firemen were called to rescue a woman who was trapped under the wheel of a vehicle after being run over in Avenida Constitución in the centre of Mazarrón town on Monday shortly after mid-day.
The 66-year-old victim was trapped under one of the vehicle's wheels and was seriously injured during the incident.
112 Emergency Coordination Center received several calls from other shoppers who witnessed the event and said that the lady in question had been dragged under the vehicle for several meters before it stopped.
It’s not clear whether she was using a pedestrain crossing at the time, but locals familiar with this street say that motorists frequently ignore the speed limits and that the amount of vehicles regularly parked in this street do make it difficult for pedestrians to be seen when crossing the street.
The unfortunate lady was treated in-situ before being transferred to the Santa Lucia hospital in Cartagena.
