Four slightly injured when a minibus overturned on rocks in Cabo Silleiro, very close to the sea

Four people have been injured when a minibus left the road near Cabo Silleiro, in Baiona (Pontevedra), very close to the waters of the Atlantic.

The vehicle has overturned and has fallen on some rocks, which have prevented it from descending towards the sea, although it has remained in an unstable position.

The injured are the three passengers and the driver, who had to be released, since the twisted irons and the position in which the minibus was left prevented her from leaving it.

Civil Guard sources have explained that there was a risk that the bus would have rolled into the sea.
