Driver Arrested in Seville for Running Over Two Civil Guard Officers. A driver in a stolen car ran over two Civil Guard officers in Seville. One of the injured officers has been hospitalized with serious injuries. The incident occurred on the A-8065 highway.
A man was detained in Seville after he hit two Civil Guard officers with a stolen car. The incident occurred on April 23 on a section of the A-8065 highway between San Juan de Aznalfarache and Seville. According to the agency, the driver was moving against the flow of traffic in the opposite direction, creating a danger for other road users.
Civil Guard officers patrolling the area on motorcycles noticed the vehicle violating traffic rules and tried to stop it. However, the driver ignored the order to stop, accelerated, and struck both officers. As a result of the collision, one of the victims sustained serious injuries and was urgently taken to the hospital.
The man was detained on several charges: vehicle theft, dangerous driving, causing bodily harm, and assaulting law enforcement officers. According to the agency, the investigation is ongoing and the circumstances of the incident are being thoroughly examined.
Cases of attacks on law enforcement officers in Spain remain rare, but such incidents attract significant public attention. For comparison, the country has previously seen high-profile cases related to police actions and judicial proceedings, for example, when former Prime Minister Zapatero was charged by the police.
According to official data, the A-8065 highway connects the suburb of San Juan de Aznalfarache with Seville and is considered one of the key roads for local residents. In recent years, occasional violations have been reported on this section, but such serious incidents are rare. Drivers are reminded to comply with traffic laws and police regulations to avoid tragic consequences.
