Jordi Duart Olmos, 27 years old and national police trainee at the Usera-Villaverde Police Station, died this Saturday morning in Madrid when his motorcycle collided with a Samur-Civil Protection ambulance at the intersection of Ciudad de Barcelona Avenue with Cafeto Street, in the Retiro district.
As reported by Emergencias Madrid, the incident occurred at 7:30 am and the victim lost his life on the spot.
The police union Spanish Police Confederation (CEP) has published on its Twitter profile that the deceased, assigned to the Operational Response Group (GOR) of the aforementioned police station, has collided with an ambulance "that circulated in the opposite direction" and that "did not go to any emergency service".
For this reason, the statement continues, the driver of the mobile UVI of Samur-Civil Protection "has been arrested by the Municipal Police of Madrid", although the Judicial Traffic Police of the local body continues to investigate the causes of the accident, as reported by a police spokesman.
The CEP has also indicated that the deceased has suffered an "accident in itinere", that is, that he was going to join or return from his job when the accident occurred.
The new delegate of the Government in Madrid, Francisco Martín, has given condolences to the relatives of the victim through his social networks: "All my love to the family and friends of Jordi Duart Olmos, agent of the National Police. Our sincere thanks for their dedication and sacrifice in the service of citizens."
