Vehicle immobilization and fallen loads

Article 130. Vehicle immobilization and fallen loads.
1. If, because of accident or vehicle damage or if their load has fallen in the road, drivers, after properly indicating the vehicle or the obstacle, must take the necessary measures to remove it from the road in the least possible time and to locate it meeting the parking rules whenever feasible (LST Art 51,2).
2. Whenever, in an emergency, a vehicle is immobilized in the road or its load has fallen into it, the driver or, if necessary, the occupants of the vehicle will try to put it somewhere where it causes the least obstruction to traffic, using if necessary, the hard shoulder or the median strip; also they will take the appropriate measures so that the vehicle and load are removed from the road as quickly as possible.
3. In the cases to referred to in the previous paragraph, hazard lights, if fitted must be used, width gauge lights and sidelights, and if possible, drivers must use their hazard warning triangles to warn other road users, unless traffic conditions prevent it. Such devices will be placed, one ahead and another one behind the vehicle or the load, at a minimum distance of 50m and such that that they are visible from at least 100m, by approaching drivers. On one-way roads, or more than three lanes, it is sufficient to position a single device, located at least 50m away in the manner previously indicated.
4. If it is necessary to call for help, the nearest emergency telephone must be used, if the road has them; if not, help must be sought from other road users. In no event unless unavoidable will anyone use the road.
5. Towing of broken down or damaged vehicles can only be done by specifically designed vehicles. Exceptionally, and always in safe conditions, towing by another vehicle is allowed, but only to the nearest place where it can be properly immobilized and without obstructing traffic. This exception is not applicable on autopistas or autovías.
6. When the emergency happens to a vehicle transporting dangerous goods, the specific rules will be applied in addition.
