Ángel Nieto was the famous one to whom they dedicated the delivery of Blood Ties this Wednesday, July 15. In the documentary that the La 1 program prepared about the motorcyclist, his three children intervened. These told how they found out about the accident that his father suffered in Ibiza on July 26, 2017 and for which he died a few days later.

Pablo Nieto recalled that he was in Italy at the time of the event: "They told me to call my father. A girl who had practically seen the accident picked up the phone." This stranger explained what had happened and told her everything that had happened, such as the arrival of the ambulance and the subsequent transfer to the hospital. " It was a bit of a strange experience that the accident that your father just had was broadcasting to you," he said.

The young woman told him that Ángel was not conscious and that his pupils were dilated. These details indicated to Pablo , from his experience in the world of motorcycles, that the situation was serious and that his father had probably suffered a serious trauma after hitting his head.

He called his older brother to say, "Take a running plane, Dad just had an accident and I think he is in serious condition." Gelete Nieto recalled how that moment was: "I remember he was at home, they called us ... I was immediately shot."

Hugo , the son of Ángel Nieto and Belinda Alonso , told in Lazos de Sangre that on the eve of that day he had been with his father celebrating his mother's birthday at the home of friends.

"I remember that we ended up on the porch of our house in Ibiza, the three of us laughing together. I remember giving him two kisses, as always, and I said 'I love you, Dad'. I went to sleep and the next day I didn't I went back to see. The next thing was the hospital. From one day to the next he left us and it totally changed my life there , "he said.

The situation in the hospital

Pablo Nieto commented in Lazos de Sangre that his arrival at the hospital was quite stressful: "There was a lot of press at the door. I went up to the floor and suddenly there were thousands of friends giving their opinions." Ricardo Urgell , a friend of Ángel Nieto , added in the documentary: "Everybody played tricks ... They were the opinions of people without judgment, that if they had been in Madrid they would not have died."

Fonsi Nieto , the pilot's nephew, revealed that the first thing he asked the doctors was if his uncle was going to be ill, something that the doctors confirmed. "At that time I said that I would rather not continue with us than to stay bad," he said. A Angel Nieto led him coma to treat trauma suffered. He died surrounded by his relatives on August 3, 2017, eight days after his accident.

It is at those moments that my father most needs me" .
