A car falls from the elevator of the Sardinero Hotel in Santander and causes six injuries
A strange incident and, at the same time, the lucky one that occurred last night in Santander, according to the local fire department.
Six people were slightly injured on Sunday night when a vehicle rushed down the elevator shaft of the Hotel Sardinero, in Santander, and collided with another vehicle, as reported by the Santander City Council Fire Department, according to the newspaper The world.
No ramp
This is an elevator for vehicles through which the car goes down to the floor to park, since there is no ramp. This mechanism is used in areas or buildings where there is no space to place said parking access ramp.

In this case, for unknown reasons, the elevator door was opened without the platform being on the floor. The car entered and fell into the void, crashing into the structure of the elevator itself and crushing the car that was inside the elevator cabin.
However, the Diario Montañés reports the statements of the hotel employees who say that the elevator doors were closed and it was the driver who got confused and stepped on the accelerator to the full instead of the brake, bursting the doors and falling into the empty by the elevator shaft..
Two firefighters and a tow truck went to the parking lot of the Sardinero Hotel to be able to tow and remove the two affected cars.
In one of the vehicles there were two passengers who were cared for and were treated on site and in the other four passengers who were cared for and transferred to the nearest hospital, all of them with minor injuries.
