Briefing
A 54-year-old man was killed in a head-on collision between two cars on the road A-7053 in the municipal area of Mijas (province of Málaga) on 10 September 2026. According to Andalusia’s 112 emergency service, the accident occurred at around 22:12 at kilometre 7, heading towards Alhaurín el Grande. Emergency responders at the scene confirmed the death of the 54-year-old man.
Three other occupants were injured and taken to Hospital Costa del Sol in Marbella or its catchment area: a two-year-old toddler, a 65-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman. No reliable information was initially available on the severity of their injuries; medical teams from the Centro de Emergencias Sanitarias 061 provided initial treatment and transport.
The Guardia Civil, the fire service and emergency services attended the scene. The Guardia Civil de Tráfico has taken charge of the investigation into the cause of the accident. Officials made no preliminary statement on whether alcohol, inappropriate speed, driver error or mechanical faults played a part. Such findings are the subject of the ongoing investigation.
The A-7053 connects coastal and inland municipalities in the western part of Málaga province and is heavily used locally. After serious road accidents, police and emergency services secure the scene, arrange recovery work and divert traffic if necessary until the forensic examination is complete. The authorities initially reported no specific traffic restrictions resulting from this accident.
This report is based on statements from the emergency service 112 Andalucía and regional media reports summarising information from emergency responders on the morning of 11 September 2026. We expect further confirmed information from the Guardia Civil’s final report and the hospitals. Official sources were used for all information; conjecture and speculation were avoided.
