Jesús Pedro, the Madrid municipal police officer who survived the A-6 suicide bomber, has already sent a message of hope to his colleagues. This 55-year-old police officer, assigned to the general police station of the Puente de Vallecas district, was able to tell, by a miracle, what happened to him. His tone and words are optimistic.
The terrible accident happened on September 1st after 6am and since then the agent has been in intensive care, with a leg broken in several places and a fractured hip. He has undergone operations and has already left intensive care.
In the double collision, at kilometer 20 of the A Coruña highway, as it passed through Las Rozas, Juan Carlos, a 25-year-old engineer, first hit the motorcycle on which Jesús Pedro was riding, sending him to the shoulder. ; Then, he did it against a car in which Alberto SA, a 44-year-old national police officer and assigned to the Operational Intervention Group (GOR) of the Salamanca district police station, was also going to his workplace and to a friend of his. , whom he did the favor of taking to Madrid from Ávila because he was also going to work, a job that has nothing to do with the security forces. They were less fortunate and died instantly. Alberto did citizen security work on the street. He had been there for a short time, where he was a SUP union representative, after having passed through the Central Registry of Detainees.
As for the suicidal driver, he also lost his life and his companion, a brother studying psychology, was extremely seriously injured. They were returning from a night of partying when, unexpectedly, they took a stretch of highway in the wrong direction.
In a voice message that ABC had access to last Monday, Jesús Pedro informed his colleagues in the municipal police: “Hello guys, I’m happy, I’m free. I feel good and we’ll prepare a meal soon. Be calm. With a lot of pain, yes, but I’m moving forward. A big kiss to everyone. That morning he went to provide an extraordinary and voluntary service in the security of the Rastro de Madrid.
That morning, before he had emergency hip surgery, a colleague managed to talk to him on the phone and explain how the accident had happened: “I was going on the A-6, when I saw the lights in the opposite direction, so I turned right, I didn’t have time to do more. I slowed down a lot, but the car hit my bike and I jumped on it. “It hit me in the leg when I jumped and I went straight under the guardrail, but without hitting the posts.” A few centimeters difference, and I wouldn’t have counted it.
The truth is that the emergency services began to receive reports from other drivers at 6:10 in the morning that a Volkswagen Taigo, an SUV type and a new model, was driving like crazy, very fast and in the opposite direction on the La Coruña motorway. When it reached kilometer 20, it collided with Jesús Pedro, who was going to work on his own motorcycle. This agent survived “by a miracle”, as he himself commented to those around him.
The national police officer and his co-driver were in a Volkswagen Passat and were unable to avoid a head-on collision. Juan Carlos was driving at excessive speed.
