AP7 accident Pilar

Some old fool entering onto the AP7 in the wrong direction.

Two dead and one seriously injured on AP7 in Pilar de la Horadada
Two men have died in a traffic accident that occurred this morning around 10:15 am on the AP-7 motorway close to Pilar de la Horadada. A 23-year-old man has also been seriously injured in the same incident, as reported by the Emergency Coordination Centre.

The emergency services were quickly on the scene with paramedics from the SAMU unit only able to confirm the death of two men.

Maybe a good idea to review driving licenses more frequently after 65. (BTW I'm 65)

You know the driver was old, and how old, how?

It's easy to generalise however one impaired aged driver does not a population of them make but if at age 65 you think your own driving abilities may not be up to standard then by all means give it up or get yourself retested.

Renewals have already been reduced to 2 years for over 70's BTW.

5 years from age 65 and 2 years from age 70. How more frequently do you want?

The drivers age was in the paper

Local Spanish newspaper INFORMATION says it can confirm, that one of them, driven by a 76-year-old man, was driving in the opposite direction to the direction of travel after having accessed the highway from a roundabout popularly known as “the one with the monolith” on the border of the province of Alicante with the Region of Murcia.

Hopefully they jail the driver, simply no excuse for doing this.
I feel for the families that have lost loved ones

He's dead!
