**Title:** Andorra Arrests Eight for DUI and Crashes Amid Injury Wave **Summary:** Police detained eight men over a week for high BAC levels up to 2.30 g/L, drug offenses, and collisions causing serious injuries on busy CG-2 roads.

**Body:** Andorran police have arrested eight men over the past week for driving under the influence of alcohol or related offenses, with blood alcohol levels as high as 2.30 grams per litre, plus cases involving drug possession, suspended licences, xenophobic insults and negligent injuries.

The woman struck by a car near kilometre 15.950 on the CG-2 in Incles, Canillo parish, will require surgery for her injuries. Authorities on Sunday detained a 41-year-old Spanish tourist suspected of negligent injury after losing control of his vehicle while heading uphill toward Soldeu. It veered right and hit the rear of a stationary car parked roadside near the Bloc Centre building. A 24-year-old local resident was unloading boxes from its boot at the time and suffered serious leg injuries, including a suspected femur fracture, leaving her trapped between the two cars. She was rushed to Nostra Senyora de Meritxell hospital. The driver tested negative for alcohol, received treatment for minor injuries, and was held overnight at police headquarters pending judicial review. Emergency responders including police, firefighters, SUM medics and Canillo traffic agents attended, causing significant delays amid heavy post-ski traffic around 4pm.

Earlier that day in Canillo, a collision at kilometre 15.1 in El Tarter between an Andorran and a Spanish car injured the 46-year-old female driver of the latter, who required hospital transfer. The CG-2 has seen multiple incidents in under 24 hours.

Separate arrests from the week included a 26-year-old driver who crashed into the Prat Salit roundabout on the CG-1 in Andorra la Vella, injuring two female passengers; tests showed 0.97 g/L alcohol plus drugs, with charges for negligent injuries. A 24-year-old on the CG-2 in Encamp registered 1.96 g/L and faced added charges for xenophobic insults against resident communities. A 31-year-old caused material damage in La Cortinada at 1.98 g/L, while four others aged 20-44 had levels from 1.10 to 2.30 g/L at various locations. Additional cases involved a 23-year-old at Riu Runer border with a suspended licence, and a 28-year-old tourist entering via bus with 6.7 grams of tusi (pink cocaine).

In a separate Sunday incident outside Andorra on Spain's C-14 near Artesa de Segre, both occupants of an Andorran Porsche Cayenne were injured in a head-on crash that killed a 38-year-old Spanish driver from Viladecans. The Andorran driver was seriously hurt, with two minors and another from the Spanish van also injured. All survived initial treatment in Lleida.
