Events. 350 people evacuated after being trapped in Navacerrada
Leisure.New Sunday of collapse on the Navacerrada highway
The situation repeats itself.
The Civil Guard has cut
the M-601 road
early this Monday
at its access to the Port of Navacerrada due to the large influx of people who have come to the mountains, after a chaotic weekend in which they had to evacuate 350 people.
The car parks of the
Port of Cotos and Navacerrada
have already been filled first thing in the morning, as reported by the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT).
This Monday, at 9.16 am, the DGT announced on social networks the
closure of the parking lots in the mountains
and, subsequently, the M-601 access road to the Port of Navacerrada was cut off at kilometer 12.5 in Cercedilla.
On Saturday and Sunday this road collapsed again due to the snow and
the avalanche of Madrilenians
to the Sierra de Madrid, a pattern that has been repeated throughout this Christmas, despite the recommendations of the health authorities.
Precisely, yesterday, the Firefighters of the Community of Madrid had to rescue a woman and her two children who
had been lost in the Navafría area
, in an intervention very complicated by the cold and wind, according to the 112 Community of Madrid in social networks.
To avoid this type of situation, the Madrid 112 Security and Emergencies Agency announced a series of measures, in force until January 10,
to avoid crowds
at the accesses to the Sierra de Madrid.
Among the measures contemplated, which has been carried out this Monday, is that the Civil Guard
will cut the roads
when the car parks are complete.

to evacuate all the people, who had to provide thermal blankets and food, according to the Civil Guard.
