Police and traffic services responded to a collision between a motorcycle and a car at kilometre 0.150 on the CG-1 near the Josep Escaler roundabout in Andorra la Vella, where two local drivers aged 47 and 20 sustained injuries. The incident, reported around 13:00 on Friday, also led to traffic delays in the busy area, including Avinguda Tarragona.

Emergency responders were alerted shortly after 13:00, with a police traffic patrol dispatched to the scene near the Comella roundabout, adjacent to the Justice headquarters. One vehicle, a car registered in Andorra and linked to the Assegur insurance company, suffered severe frontal damage and came to a halt in the roadway, complicating traffic flow during the lunch hour.

Eyewitness accounts described the impact damaging the front of the insurance company car, prompting the deployment of two police patrols and circulation service agents to manage traffic for about 30 minutes. A separate report on the same incident described it as involving material damage at the Comella roundabout around 13:00 the previous day, with one Andorran-registered car bearing the brunt of the frontal destruction.

The two Andorran-registered drivers were taken to Nostra Senyora de Meritxell Hospital for treatment, though police confirmed no other injuries occurred. Authorities have not released further details on the drivers' conditions or the cause of the crash.
