A 10-year-old boy is forgotten at a gas station in Cáceres and located 140 km later

A 10-year-old boy, who was traveling with his father, his friend and another 7-year-old brother, was accidentally left at a gas station located near Aldea del Cano, in Cáceres, on the A-66 and it was not until 140 kilometers later, when they realized they were located by the Civil Guard.

As reported by the armed institute, around 8:30 p.m. this Sunday they were alerted that a child had been left alone at the service station. According to the images from the gas station's security cameras, the minor got out of the vehicle without his companions realizing that he did not get back in.

After the efforts carried out through central 062 and upon learning that the vehicle was traveling in a northerly direction, a device was established to locate it, which was finally achieved around 11:00 p.m., near Hervás (Cáceres), on the same A-66. Meanwhile, the minor was under the care of Civil Guard agents until he could be reunited with his family.
