A four-wheel-drive vehicle overturned overnight at Bordes d'Envalira and was discovered Saturday morning by a snowplough driver, though firefighters confirmed the incident without attending the scene and police reported no record of it.
The vehicle, spotted near the base of the TSD6 Pla de les Pedres chairlift in the ski area between Soldeu and Grau Roig sectors, had flipped completely during what appears to have been a turning manoeuvre on a sloped section, causing it to lose stability. The snowplough operator came across it while carrying out routine maintenance and filmed the upturned 4x4, which showed no major apparent damage despite its inverted position. The vehicle had veered into a precarious off-piste area and remains at the site pending safe removal by operations teams, who must access it via a full detour.
Firefighters noted the overturning occurred overnight but conducted no intervention. Authorities have provided no details on the cause beyond the reported manoeuvre, the number of occupants, or any injuries. Police confirmed they have no official knowledge of the event.
