Provisional release with precautionary measures for the person detained over the fatal accident on the N-340 in Castellón
The judge presiding over investigating court number 1 on duty at the Court of First Instance in Castellón has issued provisional release on Monday for the 19-year-old arrested following the traffic accident that occurred on the N-340 as it passes through Castellón in the early hours of Sunday, according to castellonaldia.elmundo.es. The crash resulted in four fatalities.
The decision, made in accordance with the Public Prosecutor's position, is accompanied by several precautionary measures: periodic appearances before the court, prohibition from driving motor vehicles, confiscation of passport and prohibition from leaving Spanish territory.
The magistrate justified the ruling by taking into account the personal circumstances of the accused: his young age, the absence of criminal records and his family and personal ties. Furthermore, she considered that the requirements of article 503 of the Criminal Procedure Act for ordering provisional detention were not met, as there was no apparent risk of flight, destruction of evidence or likelihood of further offences.
The young man remains under investigation in an ongoing case, with initial classification and without prejudice to subsequent modifications, for four offences of homicide by gross negligence and five offences of injury by gross negligence, concurrent with one offence against road safety.
