Range Rover and Opel Van Crash Blocks C-14 Near Organyà, Driver Extricated with Minor Injuries

A rear-end collision between a Range Rover and an Opel van on the C-14 near Organyà fully blocked the road and caused significant delays, with traffic now cleared.

The incident occurred at 3:49 p.m. Thursday at kilometre 162.8, close to a tunnel in a section with a continuous centre line. The Andorran-registered Range Rover and Spanish-registered Opel van collided in a side-impact crash, obstructing the entire southbound lane and part of the northbound lane. One driver became trapped, requiring extrication by firefighters before transfer to Sant Hospital de la Seu d’Urgell for observation with minor injuries. No other injuries were reported.

Emergency responders included five Bombers de la Generalitat personnel, Mossos d’Esquadra patrols, and Sistema d’Emergències Mèdiques teams. They disconnected the vehicles' batteries, shifted them aside, and cleared debris, completing work around 5 p.m. The initial alert at 4:18 p.m. prompted a full closure between kilometres 163.8 and 168 or 169. Traffic queues initially exceeded two kilometres, reaching into Organyà town centre and peaking above five kilometres.

Single-lane alternating traffic began at 5:08 p.m., with updates at 5:20 p.m. and 5:27 p.m., before full reopening around 6:45 p.m. Early reports varied on vehicle registrations—some suggesting two Andorran cars—and one later account mentioned three vehicles including a truck, but official details from Servei Català de Trànsit and Direcció General d’Emergències confirm the two-vehicle crash as described. Authorities continue investigating the cause and advised drivers to reduce speed, remain vigilant, and consider alternatives.
