The Rivas kamikaze drove 10 kilometers in the opposite direction before causing the two deaths. It is unknown if the driver who supposedly caused the accident drove in the wrong direction due to an error or if he was under the influence of alcohol or narcotic substances.

The two young people who lost their lives occupied the positions of pilot and co-pilot and are residents of Arganda del Rey. One of the two deceased, Aitor, was the son of the co-spokesperson for Más Madrid in the town.
