According to the Levante newspaper, a cyclist died this past Wednesday after being hit by a car on the CV-675 near the Valencian town of Gandía, as reported by the Traffic Management Center (CGT). The deceased, a 75-year-old man , was riding his bicycle on the road that connects the towns of Gandía and Barx.
The accident occurred at about 7:55 a.m. this past Wednesday at kilometer 0.5 of the CV-675 as it passes through Gandía when a car ran over a bicycle.
According to various sources, the cyclist was struck from behind for reasons that are still under investigation, and the injuries he sustained in the collision proved fatal . Local police and paramedics arrived at the scene, located less than a kilometer from the town center of Gandía, but were unable to save the cyclist's life.
This road is one of the most frequented by cyclists from La Safor and other regions for sport, although in this case it is believed that the man, due to his age and the time at which the accident occurred, could have been heading to one of the many agricultural plots in that area of Marxuquera.
