A traffic accident has caused great shock in Xàbia this Wednesday as the town is immersed in the Fogueres de Sant Joan festivities. A 17-year-old boy lost his life while returning home on a moped in the early hours, after attending the nocturnal bullfighting events, according to municipal sources.

The accident occurred on the CV-734 road from Xàbia to Gata de Gorgos. The young man, R. S. M., for reasons still unknown, veered off the road and collided with the guardrail.

Before setting off for home, around four in the morning, he had informed his parents that he was on his way back, but he never reached his destination. His body was found in the early hours.

The Local Police attended the scene of the accident, as did officers from the Civil Guard. The Armed Institute has taken charge of the investigation and will try to determine the causes of the accident in which the young man died.

The Xàbia Town Hall is considering whether to modify the festive program of Fogueres following this incident, although the victim was not a "quinto".
