Andorra Police Arrest Four Drivers for Drunk Driving and Drugs

Police in Andorra arrested four drivers early Friday for drunk driving and drug-related offenses, including a 25-year-old tourist whose Spanish-registered car crashed at the Envalira tunnel roundabout in Pas de la Casa, caught fire, and was left behind.

The man lost control, hit a safety barrier, and caused property damage before leaving the scene without alerting authorities. The first police patrol arrived as the engine began burning; officers quickly put out the flames to prevent spread. A second patrol found the driver with three other passengers in the vehicle, where he tested at 1.52 g/l on a breathalyzer—far exceeding the legal limit—resulting in his detention on road safety violations.

During the same early hours, police stopped a 26-year-old driver on the CG-2 near Ransol after observing erratic behavior: he crossed the solid white line and entered the oncoming lane, registering 1.19 g/l. A 29-year-old driver was held in Andorra la Vella following a 0.99 g/l reading.

At the Riu Runer border crossing, agents detained a 49-year-old tourist entering Andorra after discovering 0.12 grams of cocaine during a routine inspection; he also tested positive for drugs and faces public health charges amid standard border controls to prevent illegal substances.

Earlier in the week in Escaldes-Engordany, officers arrested a 51-year-old resident suspected of obstructing justice by driving outside the hours allowed by the Batllia despite his license suspension.
