  • Mijas A man and a woman drowned in Mijas when they were dragged by a river while traveling by car

Surprising event in the Malaga municipality of Estepona, where a 90-year-old woman had to be hospitalized with serious injuries

after being trapped by the couch of her bed

.

A rescue that required the intervention of firefighters and national police.

The events, as EL MUNDO has learned from sources close to the case, occurred last Friday the 8th at around 3:45 p.m. in a building on Calle Marqués del Duero, in the Cancelada area.

The emergency services received a call from neighbors who alerted that cries

and calls for help

were heard

from inside the house

of an elderly woman.

Members of the National Police traveled to the place, confirming that from the landing of the plant there was

a person in serious distress

inside the apartment

.

Faced with the impossibility of being able to enter through the door, and taking into account that the woman had been in this risky situation for hours and the difficulties to access through the balcony, they requested the help of the Provincial Firefighters Consortium (CPB) of Malaga.

The firefighters, after studying the situation, found that they could not open the door without destroying it with the radio,

so they chose to use a ladder and access the home through the terrace

.

They fractured an exterior window and, once inside, they went to the bedroom where the victim was located and found that she was trapped by the sofa of the bed.

"The shattered arm"

The provincial deputy for Security and Emergencies and president of the Malaga CPB, Manuel Marmolejo, pointed out that the woman "had a shattered arm" and that he told the emergency services that "he was putting away some sheets and blankets when the couch gave way and fell on top ".

As at first glance it seemed that the old woman, of French origin, could suffer several fractures in one of her arms and had a bleeding wound, Health Emergencies 061 was notified, which sent an ambulance to the property.

The doctors agreed on the initial diagnosis and decided to transfer the victim to the Costa del Sol hospital in Marbella.

Marmolejo has reported that the victim is at home waiting to be operated on and that she was very grateful to all the emergency services that participated in her unique rescue.
