The body of a man in his late 50s was found in the gutter of the N-340 where it passes through the municipality of Salobreña.
According to the Emergency Coordination Centre (Cecem 112), the body was discovered around at 10.30h this morning when a caller reported having come across the body of a man in the gutter (drainage channel) of the mainroad.
The cordination centre called out the the Guardia Civil traffic police and an ambulance, as well as the Salobreña municipal police.
Once at the scene, the paramedics confirmed that the 59-year-old victim was dead and according to the Guardia Civil, the most likely explanation was that he had been knocked over, although this has not been confirmed.
Editorial note: we phoned the Policía Local to find out on what part N-340, more or less, the accident happened, but they were unwilling to offer the information.
