He forgot to put on the handbrake and rolled down an embankment into a children's playground in Torrevieja.

The garden, the largest in Los Balcones, was opened in 2014 on a hollow between two roads without a perimeter fence.

A vehicle has fallen from one of the sloping roads surrounding the Queen of Salt Park, the largest park in the Los Balcones de Torrevieja urbanisation, down to the children's playground, where several children were playing.

The incident occurred at approximately 7:00 PM on Tuesday, when the parked car, which the driver had not engaged the handbrake on, rolled down, according to eyewitnesses, onto the playground area. Fortunately - or by a miracle - no one was injured, with only damage to the rear side of the car, which had foreign license plates, causing a great scare.

his green space, which opened in 2014, was created in a small valley between the houses of the residential development and has become very popular with the residents. The park is bordered by two roads but has no perimeter fence.

These facilities, located on Avenida María Asunción, were built on a 35,000 square meter promenade , transforming it into a large green and sports area that completely changed the face of the area, including a large sports area that has eight petanque courts, two Asturian bowling courts, two basketball courts, a multi-sports court for futsal and handball, two mini-football courts, a ping-pong area and a dog park, in addition to a bio-healthy games area that has 12 pieces of equipment and a gym circuit with 14 pieces of equipment for the more athletic, as well as a recreation area of ​​almost 2,000 square meters for dogs, including Agility.

The works were carried out by the students of the Mediterranean VI Employment Workshop, which provided work and training to 38 unemployed people for 12 months, with an investment of 1,005,410 euros, of which 60% was subsidized by the Ministry of Education, Training and Employment through Servef.

And what a stupid comment.!!

You best stick with Talk Quesada.

"He forgot to put on the handbrake and rolled down an embankment into a children's playground in Torrevieja."

" A vehicle has fallen from one of the sloping roads surrounding the Queen of Salt Par"k, the largest park in the Los Balcones de Torrevieja urbanisation, down to the children's playground, where several children were playing.

"The incident occurred at approximately 7:00 PM on Tuesday, when the parked car, which the driver had not engaged the handbrake on, rolled down, according to eyewitnesses, onto the playground area.

As I live very close to the area that Carl was posting about I was very interested in it's history.

Given the angle the car has ended up in the playground in relation to the road, I am inclined to thinks it rolled off of somebody's drive way.
