The incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon when a heavy-duty truck, carrying cardboard, overturned sideways onto the median at kilometer 3 of the M-407, within the municipality of Leganés.

The driver was mechanically trapped inside the cabin, prompting a laborious rescue operation by the Community of Madrid Firefighters. The extrication efforts lasted for approximately two hours.

Throughout the operation, SUMMA paramedics provided care and stabilized the injured individual. Once freed, the driver was transported to a hospital for a thorough medical evaluation, as, despite no apparent serious injuries, they were considered a potential polytrauma patient.

The Guardia Civil has taken charge of the accident investigation and managed traffic in the affected area, as reported by sources from 112 of the Community of Madrid.
