A 19-year-old Dolores man was killed on the N-332 after skateboarding across the road in Santa Pola into the path of an oncoming lorry. The accident happened on Wednesday afternoon as he veered into the centre of the highway opposite the site of the Hotel Torresblancas, having been skateboarding down the side of the N-332.
The lorry was heading southbound, with the driver having no way of stopping or swerving in time to avoid the skateboarder, who was instantly killed.
