Police say the man, aged 51, who lit the fuse has been arrested and could be charged with reckless homicide. It is understood the woman died instantly and there was nothing an emergency doctor on site could do to save her life. The incident happened in the Spanish town of Viso del Marqués (Ciudad Real) when local residents and visitors were taking part in a religious procession as part of the San Cristobal celebrations. The woman, who lived locally, was in the crowd when the rocket veered out of control and struck her in the head. The town has just over 2,000 residents and the woman who died was well-known for her involvement in community events.
