Tragic Sunday at the Bullrings in Enguera. A 60-year-old woman died on the afternoon of this festive day during the celebration of the bullfighting event. The victim was walking from a scaffold to another barrier inside the enclosure when, unexpectedly, the animal ran over her at high speed. Witnesses of the incident attributed the risky maneuver of the resident of the municipality to a “mistake”, according to Europa Press.
After the brutal impact, the neighbor was left unconscious on the ground. Some sources pointed to a goring in the side, specifically in the armpit. In addition, the blow to the head against the ground was also considerable. Other participants in the celebration came to her aid and moved her away from the danger area.
The medical staff were unable to do anything to save her life. The woman died while being transferred by ambulance to the Lluís Alcanyís Hospital in Xàtiva, according to health sources.
The Enguera Town Council immediately announced the suspension of the orchestra on Sunday night, the events of the Quintos, the bullfighting events scheduled for this Sunday and Monday, and the parade and the mascletá tomorrow Monday. A sad day in the town of La Canal de Navarrés. Likewise, the processions of next Saturday were suspended as a sign of respect. However, the castle of San Miguel was scheduled to be fired this Sunday in memory of the deceased.
