84-year-old woman falls from motorhome in Spain during family trip

An 84-year-old German woman tragically died after falling from a moving motorhome during a family trip in Spain. The incident occurred near Rotgla i Corbera in Valencia at approximately 5:30 am. The woman was traveling with her daughter-in-law, who was driving the vehicle towards Denia. Authorities believe the elderly woman mistakenly opened the wrong door, thinking it was the toilet door, leading to her fall. Witnesses reported that a truck driver saw the motorhome's right-hand side door swing open, followed by the woman being ejected from the vehicle and rolling onto the road. Unfortunately, she was struck by another vehicle shortly after falling, resulting in her immediate death. The motorhome continued moving until the driver realized her mother-in-law was missing. After stopping at a petrol station 8.5 kilometers from the accident site, the daughter-in-law sought assistance, explaining that she had heard a loud noise from the back of the motorhome. Local police later located her and confirmed that she had not been charged with any crime related to the incident. Investigators are treating the case as an accident, ruling out the presence of a third person in the vehicle at the time of the fall. This tragic event highlights the potential dangers associated with motorhome travel, particularly for elderly passengers. It serves as a reminder for families to ensure the safety of all occupants and to be vigilant about the vehicle's exits while in motion.
