A car with a Spanish licence plate crashed into the Borda Bastida roundabout in Andorra la Vella yesterday morning. The incident occurred around 6:45am at the junction of Avinguda Santa Coloma and Carrer Gil Torres.
Police accident investigators will determine the exact cause, as details have not yet been released. The driver lost control, striking the roundabout's boundary wall and leaving the vehicle heavily damaged.
Traffic agents from the parish responded to manage flow and limit disruption on one of the capital's busiest access routes. Police officers, several fire service units including an ambulance to assist the car's occupants, and a support truck for potential road clearance also attended the scene.
This marks the second traffic incident in a short time on Avinguda Santa Coloma. On Friday afternoon, shortly before 4pm, a young female motorcyclist aged 16 was injured near number 117. A car pulling out from a nearby petrol station collided with the motorcycle, which carried a father and daughter—both Andorran-registered vehicles. The impact threw the bike onto the girl's lower limb, causing injuries. Emergency medical services, police and traffic agents were mobilised there as well.
