The high-speed pursuit began at around midnight when for unknown reasons, the motorcyclist decided to skip a Guardia Civil checkpoint. During the subsequent chase, the bike and its passengers ran into a police vehicle on Calle Ebanistería.

As a result, the motorcycle rider, a 44-year-old man, was seriously injured and was transferred by SUMMA 112 medics to the Gregorio Marañón Hospital.

Despite attempting to carry out resuscitation techniques for more than half an hour, the doctors could not prevent the death of the other occupant of the motorcycle. According to the same sources, the officers travelling in the Guardia Civil vehicle were unharmed, as reported by 20minutos.es.
