Two dead and three seriously injured after head-on collision in Humanes
A head-on collision between two cars left two people dead and three seriously injured on Friday on the M-410, near Humanes de Madrid. The accident happened shortly after half past five in the morning and affected traffic on a road heavily used for commuting in the south of the region.
The crash occurred at kilometre 7.5 of the road. Firefighters from the Comunidad de Madrid, paramedics from Summa 112, and Guardia Civil officers attended the scene and are now investigating the cause of the collision.
One of the vehicles was occupied only by its driver. Firefighters had to free him from inside the car and paramedics tried to resuscitate him, but were only able to confirm his death.
Four men were travelling in the second car. One of them also died after being treated at the scene, while the other three occupants suffered serious multiple injuries.
The injured, aged between 18 and 36, were taken to the hospitals Puerta de Hierro, Doce de Octubre y Gregorio Marañón. Their condition required a rapid medical response at a particularly sensitive time for commuter traffic.
After attending to the victims, firefighters worked to clear the road of vehicle debris and reduce risks for other drivers. The Guardia Civil is continuing its investigation to determine how the head-on collision occurred.
The M-410 connects several towns in the south of Madrid and carries heavy traffic early in the morning, especially between residential areas, industrial estates, and access points to other roads. An accident this serious not only blocks or slows traffic, but also disrupts the routine of those who use this road to get to work.
For local drivers, the incident meant a morning of diversions, delays, and concern. The investigation will determine the causes, but the immediate impact has already been felt on a secondary road that is key to daily mobility in the southern metropolitan area.
