Emergency services responded to a two-car crash at the intersection of Pau Casals and Josep Rossell streets in Andorra la Vella, between Avinguda Consell d'Europa and Avinguda Meritxell, where rescuers had to extract at least one driver from his vehicle.
Police received the alert at 2:35 p.m. on Thursday, dispatching a patrol and an ambulance from the sanitary transport service (SUM) to the scene behind the E. Leclerc supermarket. The collision involved a locally registered Mini and Renault Clio, both with significant material damage and broken glass strewn across the road. Paramedics freed the Renault Clio driver around 2:45 p.m., who appeared to suffer the most serious injuries, though authorities have not detailed the total number of injured parties or their conditions.
A second SUM ambulance joined the response, along with a police accidents unit, traffic agents, and municipal workers to clear debris. The incident shut down Pau Casals street—a key bus corridor—for several hours.
No cause has been released, and further details remain pending.
