Event Summary

A 42-year-old British mother was killed in a catastrophic collision between a van and a lorry on the M5 motorway in Totana, southern Spain. Her three family members, including an 18-year-old man, a seven-year-old girl, and a 40-year-old man, sustained injuries. Two lorry drivers also received minor treatment. The incident, described as 'extremely serious' by Spain's 112 emergency service, led to mile-long traffic queues and the closure of a motorway lane. An investigation is underway, with initial findings from The Spanish Eye suggesting driver distraction as a possible contributing factor.
