A Spanish-registered four-wheel-drive vehicle crashed into the door of the Bronze Age Fondue restaurant in Andorra la Vella's historic centre on Monday, causing extensive material damage but no injuries.
The incident occurred around 4pm on Carrer Cap de Carrer. Witnesses reported the driver, described as a man aged between 60 and 70, was reversing at the corner when the vehicle struck one of the open street-facing doors. The impact shattered the glass panel, scattering fragments across the pavement and inside the premises. Restaurant staff, including the manager who was upstairs at the time, cleared the debris after hearing a loud bang.
Police and emergency services attended the scene. The driver exchanged details with the restaurant before notifying insurers. The restaurant's insurer has attributed responsibility to the driver, though he disputes this. Both parties have filed claims, and a company installed a temporary protective covering on the main entrance that afternoon, allowing the business to reopen for dinner service while damage assessments and permanent repairs continue.
Further details remain pending.
