112 incident

The 41-year-old victim had emergency surgery at Hospital Costa del Sol in the town on Good Friday after being rushed there.

Both fires did not result in serious injuries, although one police officer had to be treated for smoke inhalation during the incidents. The cost of extinguishing the blazes was estimated to be around 100,000 euros.

The driver of the vehicle that was found in Lago de las Tortugas this week explained to the police that he had stopped to eat, but accidentally parked the car too close to the water.

Police spent several hours searching the area, while firefighters made multiple dives into the Lago de las Tortugas to ensure the driver had not drowned.

The emergency services attempted to revive the young individual on-site, but their efforts were not successful.

The event occurred during the early hours of Friday morning on Bulevar Alfonso Hohenloe.
