Velez - Malaga Trams in Collisions

Just two weeks after the most serious accident yet involving the Velez-Malaga tram line last Sunday saw another collision. A car hit the tram on the roundabout where Calle Las Arenas and Calle Azucarea meet Avenida de Andalucia in Torre del Mar at around nine o'clock in the evening.

Only material damage was caused. The car had lost part of its bumper in the collision but the owner drove off almost immediately after a confrontation with the tram driver. The tram only suffered a few scratches and was able to continue on its way to Velez.

On Monday, May 25th, at around 9 o'clock in the morning, three passengers had to be admitted to hospital with minor injuries after the tram they were travelling in ran past the last stop on the line, crashing into three parked cars and a lorry, at the Jurado Lorca Park in Velez-Malaga. The reson why the tram failed to stop is not known at this time. But it was the lorry that finally stoped it.
