Four Injured as Car Plunges Into River After Negreira Collision

Bystander rescues with a swift air response showed strong local coordination.

Overview

  • The DP-5602 crash at the Carreira de San Mauro bridge in Negreira on Wednesday evening left four people hurt.
  • The impact sent one car carrying a father and two young children into the Barcala River, where it overturned in shallow water.
  • Neighbors on the terrace of the nearby Porto bar pulled the family from the car before crews arrived, so all four were already out.
  • A medical helicopter flew the father in serious condition to Santiago’s university hospital.
  • Response units included a helicopter from Santiago, Santa Comba firefighters, the Brión emergency group, Civil Guard traffic agents, Protección Civil, and regional police, who began a routine follow-up.
