Firefighters were required to extricate one of the women, who had become trapped inside the overturned car. Meanwhile, the Guardia Civil took charge of the investigation and began compiling official reports into the circumstances of the crash.
The incident caused traffic delays in the area as emergency crews worked to assist the injured and clear the road. Authorities have not yet released further details regarding the cause of the collision.
