The accident occurred when the parade was circulating on Las Torres street in the town, one of the main and most central arteries of the municipality.

According to the witnesses of the events, when Baltasar's float turned the corner at the Plaza de San Andrés, the vehicle that was pulling it lost control, apparently due to a failure in the brakes, and ran over people. which was closer.

Two emergency teams and two more ambulances have immediately traveled to the place, in addition to the troops of the Local Police of Marchena and the Civil Guard.
