A 78-year-old woman was Fustiñana (Navarre) on a zebra crossing hit and injured by a car. According to the Guardia Civil the accident happened within the town. The woman, who lives in Fustiñana, received medical attention at the scene and was then taken to Hospital Reina Sofía in Tudela . No information on the exact time of the accident was initially available.
The authorities gave no definitive information on the severity of the injuries on Wednesday. Regional media, citing emergency services, reported that they had initially been classified as serious. The hospital had not confirmed this by the time of publication.
The Guardia Civil collected evidence and opened an investigation into the exact circumstances. The central question is whether the pedestrian was already fully on the zebra crossing when she was hit, and whether any traffic offences were committed. There was no indication of a hit-and-run. Police gave no information about the identity of the driver, any witnesses, or alcohol or drug tests.
According to the authorities, the Guardia Civil’s traffic unit and public safety units were involved in the operation. The emergency medical service 112-SOS Navarra, which dispatched a suitably equipped ambulance, coordinated the initial medical care. The authorities provided no further details about diagnostic procedures or the subsequent clinical course.
Fustiñana lies in southern Navarra, near Tudela. Accidents involving pedestrian crossings in built-up areas regularly occupy the region’s emergency services. In this context, the authorities point to visibility, marked crossings and compliance with speed limits as key factors in road safety. However, it would be premature to draw specific conclusions about the causes in this case; these are subject to the ongoing investigation.
Investigators say they intend to publish further details once verified information on the injured woman’s condition or any possible traffic offences becomes available. The council and emergency services asked witnesses to send any relevant information directly to the Guardia Civil.
