Tributes Paid to Three Tourists Killed in Malaga Horror Crash
A fourth Irish person was seriously injured, and emergency crews freed trapped passengers after the collision caused a car to plunge 100 feet, officials said.
- Three Irish nationals died and one was seriously injured on Sunday after their vehicle plunged 100 feet down an embankment following a collision on the A-7 motorway near Malaga, Spain.
- The incident occurred at 2:38 am near the Cerrado Calderon turn-off on the Almeria-bound stretch when the Irish group's vehicle collided with another car, forcing it through a barrier and down the embankment.
- All four victims, aged between 24 and 32, were from Mullingar, Westmeath; the 31-year-old Irish driver remains hospitalized in very serious condition.
- Minister Robert Troy, a Fianna Fáil TD and Minister of State at the Department of Finance, described the news as "absolutely devastating" after speaking with relatives of those involved.
- Civil Guard officers are investigating the crash using onboard computer data to determine vehicle speed, though a spokesman said it is "too early" to identify the cause of the collision.
