### Multiple Road Accidents in Andorra Injure Eight, with Latest Updates on Victims and Responses
Emergency services across Andorra have handled several road incidents in recent days, leaving at least eight people with minor injuries. No serious conditions have been reported, and police continue investigating causes in each case.
#### Motorcyclist Injured in Andorra la Vella Collision A 43-year-old man riding an Andorran-plated motorcycle collided with a Spanish-registered car at number 3 on Carrer Mossèn Lluís Pujol in Andorra la Vella on Tuesday at 5:33pm. The rider sustained injuries requiring medical attention, though his condition remains undisclosed.
#### French Driver Airlifted After Vehicle Rolls into River Near Pal Late Sunday afternoon, a 23-year-old French resident lost control of his French-plated Mitsubishi Pajero on the Setúria track near Les Bordes de Setúria in La Massana parish. The 4x4 rolled several dozen metres down a slope before landing upside down in a shallow riverbed. Alerted around 7:35pm or 7:45pm, firefighters reached the scene by helicopter due to access difficulties. They found the driver fully conscious but slightly disoriented, with minor contusions, mild hypothermia, and no other occupants involved. After on-site care, rescuers airlifted him to Nostra Senyora de Meritxell hospital shortly before 8:45pm. He received treatment and requested voluntary discharge a few hours later.
A separate crash on the Pal road around 8:30pm that evening injured one person, who was also helicoptered to the hospital. Details on circumstances and condition are still pending.
#### Truck Plunges 20 Metres Near l'Aldosa On Monday around 5pm, a 40-year-old company truck driver lost control on the CS-335 at kilometre 1.820 near Camí de les Gravades in l'Aldosa, La Massana. The vehicle broke through a safety barrier, fell about 20 metres into a field toward Anyós, and came to rest upside down. The sole occupant called for help, walked out unaided, and was hospitalized with minor injuries and a visible anxiety attack. Responders included firefighters with an extrication truck and ambulance, Massana traffic police, a police patrol, and a SUM ambulance. Traffic flowed uninterrupted during the response, with road cleanup and vehicle removal scheduled for Tuesday.
#### Scooter Strikes Pedestrian on Avinguda Carlemany Around 4:15pm to 4:30pm Monday near number 15—close to Espai Caldes—in Escaldes-Engordany, a 17-year-old on an Andorran-plated scooter hit a 58-year-old female pedestrian crossing the avenue. Witnesses gave conflicting reports on whether the scooter carried one or two young riders, but both parties suffered injuries and were taken to Nostra Senyora de Meritxell hospital for checks. The incident, described by some as a hit-and-run, prompted police, firefighters, a SUM ambulance, and traffic agents. It caused bus line L2 diversions via Carretera de l'Obac, alternating traffic, and brief delays.
#### Earlier La Massana Incidents Sunday at 9:01am, a 45-year-old cyclist struck an Andorran-plated car outside number 6 on Avinguda de Sant Antoni in La Massana and was hospitalized; injury details unavailable.
Tuesday at 12:04pm on CG-3 at kilometre 3.250, a 22-year-old rider fell alone, received treatment on site, and had traffic managed by authorities.
Another Tuesday crash in l'Aldosa involved at least two motorcycles, injuring one driver. Police with an atestats vehicle and patrol, plus an ambulance, attended.
Police stress caution amid these minor-injury crashes under active review.
