What is known about the traffic accident in Collado Villalba in which several minors from Moralzarzal have died?
Four young people have lost their lives on the road, including three minors. The women, aged 26, 16, 15 and 13, died this Sunday, June 11, after a traffic accident, a frontal collision, on the M-608, at 5:50 a.m., reported 112 Community of Madrid. The girls lived in Moralzarzal, a small municipality of 12,000 inhabitants in the Sierra de Guadarrama, and were returning from the Collado Villalba festivities. The host, Polina Biserova, 26 years old and of Bulgarian origin, was well known for being one of the owners of the Arya nightclub in Moralzarzal.. From there she left to go pick up her 15-year-old sister, Leonor, and two other friends, Erika and Lila, who had gone to the festivals in Villalba, some six kilometers away..
The driver, for reasons that are yet to be determined, lost control of the vehicle, a Toyota Yaris, and left the two-way road on the right hand side.. The first evidence indicates that, after making two or three very abrupt maneuvers, the vehicle invaded the opposite direction and collided from the front with another car that was driving in the direction of Collado Villalba. The crash occurred in a curve, almost the only one on the route that joins the two towns, without visibility and slightly banked with a narrow shoulder. The first data handled by the Madrid Traffic Civil Guard do not point to excessive speed; but rather a little lack of attention.

She has a broken vertebra and has had to undergo surgery. Four fire crews from the community and the psychologist unit of SUMMA 112 have moved to the scene of the accident to assist relatives of the victims.

The mayor has stressed that the M-608 is a “very dangerous” road – not only the curve at kilometer 38, where the accident occurred – and has “a very high traffic density”, about 20,000 vehicles every day, as it is a link for freight trucks between the A-6 and A-1 motorways, for which reason it has expressed the need to “improve this complicated transit” of vehicles.
The president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, has expressed her regret after the accident and has wished a “speedy recovery” to the injured woman. “Our deepest condolences to the families and wish a speedy recovery to the injured driver. A tragedy that plunges us all into deep sadness. Rest in peace,” says Ayuso in a message on his account on the social network Twitter.
