Two women, a mother and her minor daughter, have died on this Saturday morning in Cambados (Pontevedra) after a violent traffic accident between a car and a tanker truck, which was transporting diesel. The vehicles collided frontally.
The accident occurred on the expressway that connects Vilagarcía with the town of Albariño, near the municipal boundary of Vilanova and Cambados.
The road is closed between the Corvillón and Vilanova exits, to be able to release the victims and due to a major fuel spill what’s on the road. Traffic is being diverted to the PO-549 regional road.

Emergency services have been operating in the area since shortly before 10 in the morning. It has been necessary to move teams from Cambados, Vilanova, Sanxenxo and Vilagarcía. There are also units from 061 and the Civil Guard.
The firefighters from the Ribadumia and Vilagarcía parks were not going to intervene initially because the first of them only had two workers this morning, when the minimum guard is three. The one in Vilagarcía has been closed for several days due to the long labor conflict that pits the workers against the firefighting consortiums. Finally, however, an endowment did come out of Ribadumia.
