Tragedy in Torremolinos as Storm Joseph Takes Woman’s Life - All Costa Del Sol on Alert

Storm Joseph's winds exceeding 80 km/h caused a palm tree to fall, killing one woman and prompting emergency protocols across Málaga province.

  • On Tuesday, a young woman died in Torremolinos after a palm tree fell at about 1pm on Avenida Palma de Mallorca during Storm Joseph.
  • High-Velocity winds snapped the palm's trunk, collapsing the palm tree onto the pavement as official sensors recorded powerful gusts during Storm Joseph.
  • Emergency coordination centre 112 Andalucía received several urgent calls as Local Police, National Police, and 061 emergency health service teams found the woman unconscious with severe injuries.
  • Several Malaga town halls activated emergency protocols and Marbella and Malaga city administrations ordered closures of public parks, playgrounds and seaside promenades to prevent injuries.
  • Forecasters expect the wind threat to persist through Wednesday morning, and residents of Malaga province are advised to avoid palm trees, secure loose items, and drive cautiously.
