Morning all,

Considering we're supposed to be in lockdown, incredibly my sister-in-law has advised us that there's a traffic jam on the AP-7 going in the direction of Alicante.  Technically, she lives in Crevillente, but her house is south of the AP-7, near El Realengo.  She's sent us a video of the traffic crawling along the road and says it's been like it since 8am this morning.  I'll see if I can find out what the problem is, but if it's essential for anyone to be trsvelling who needs to go that way this morning, you should probably check before you leave home.

Kind regards, 

Kim

Possibly this from Costa Blanca News.

Motorway smash kills three

Three people died in an accident on the A-7 motorway at Crevillente which occurred at 05.50 this morning, according to state news agency EFE.
They reported that two HGVs and a car collided for unknown reasons.
Diversions are currently in place.
The collision occurred in the northbound carriageway.

Wife tells me it's a crash, she's usually right (had to say that!) 

Much of the traffic could be those who fled tbe cities to dash down to the campsites and now trying to get back having been turfed out. 

Maybe also other holiday makers who have been advised if not told to go home.

Many thanks, John.  My sister-in-law said that it was unusual "bangs" that work her up around 6am, so that fits with the timing in the news report.  Heartbreaking to hear of the deaths.... 😔

Best wishes, 

Kim
