On the other hand, the child had a trauma severe head injury and also in the second assessment we have detected a cardiac contusion and other added injuries. The child has been transferred with prior hospital notice to the Gregorio Marañón hospital, "said Nieves de Lucas, chief of the Samur-PC guard.
In the same way, the person in charge of the Samur has recognized that "given the complexity of traffic in Madrid" this Wednesday, they had to receive the help of the Municipal Police because there were "absolutely blocked" areas.
