A driver was miraculously left almost unhurt after a pallet of sacks of cement fell on top of her car while she was driving along a street in Granada. The car was a total write-off and the woman was fitted with a neck brace at the scene by medical staff but did not suffer a scratch. The incident occurred at around 5.25pm on Tuesday (23 May) in Calle Arabial, near the Hipercor shopping centre in the city.

A crane was moving a pallet of sacks of cement to a construction site in the area, very close to the Puerta Bernina cafeteria, on the corner of Calle Cañaveral when the accident happened.
Local Police in Granada, the fire brigade and 061 medical teams were quickly on the scene. The driver was lucky that the pallet landed on a part of the car which did not affect her because an impact of that calibre would have killed her.
