Four injured, including two babies, in a multiple collision on the A-4 in Dos Hermanas

A truck and several cars collided on the A-4 as it passes through Dos Hermanas. Four people were injured, including two babies, who were taken to the Virgen de Valme Hospital.

The Andalusia Emergency Service 112 received several calls at 9:21 am on Monday reporting a chain collision on the A-4 motorway, heading towards Seville, at the height of Dos Hermanas. The incident involved a truck and several cars, with a provisional balance of four injured, including two babies.

The medical services dispatched to the scene confirmed that the four affected individuals had injuries of varying severity, although none were serious. All were taken to the Virgen de Valme University Hospital in Seville, where they remain under observation. According to sources from the hospital, the two babies are progressing well and are stable.

Emergency intervention and traffic delays on the A-4

Emergency services from the Traffic Civil Guard, a unit from the Local Police of Dos Hermanas, and two ambulances from the Andalusian Health Service were mobilised to the accident site. The officers regulated traffic while the damaged vehicles were removed, causing several kilometres of delays on the A-4 towards the capital of Seville.

Traffic was fully restored after 11:30 am, once the road maintenance teams cleared the roadway and removed the wreckage from the accident. The Civil Guard reminds the importance of maintaining a safety distance on motorways, especially in sections with high traffic density like this one.

Advice for drivers in the area

This accident once again highlights the accident rate on the A-4 as it passes through Dos Hermanas, a stretch that records an average of three serious accidents per year, according to DGT data. For drivers who regularly use this road, it is recommended to exercise extreme caution during peak hours and avoid distractions while driving.

Residents of Dos Hermanas and nearby towns, such as Los Palacios y Villafranca or Utrera, who use this section of the A-4 daily, can check traffic conditions through the DGT mobile app or the Twitter profile of the Traffic Civil Guard. Next week, a campaign by the General Directorate of Traffic is planned to raise awareness about speed and safety distance on motorways.

The injured continue to be admitted to the Valme Hospital, and it is expected that they will receive medical discharge in the coming hours. Investigations into the causes of the accident are still ongoing.
