Two vehicle collisions disrupted traffic across Andorra on Saturday amid heavy snowfall that started Friday evening, with crashes at the kilometre zero roundabout in the morning and the new Tarter roundabout in the afternoon.

Police received the first alert at 9:40am for a collision at the kilometre zero rotonda, where two passenger cars struck each other at the turning point. One vehicle bore a Spanish licence plate. Both sustained material damage and blocked the road, worsening conditions on surfaces not fully cleared of snow. Initial accounts suggested a female occupant had been injured, but emergency services later confirmed no injuries resulted. Officers managed the scene, clearing it after required procedures while traffic faced ongoing difficulties.

The second incident occurred around 3:45pm at the new rotonda in El Tarter on the CG-2 road, near Hotel Nòrdic. A sport utility vehicle and a passenger car collided in the roundabout's centre. Eyewitnesses reported one occupant complaining of a facial injury following the impact, though police have not confirmed the extent of any harm. Security teams attended to assess those involved and direct traffic, as vigilance continued on affected routes due to adverse weather.

The snowfall created widespread issues on Andorra's road network, with some sections especially hazardous. Authorities have repeatedly called on drivers to proceed cautiously, match speeds to conditions, and equip vehicles properly for winter to avoid further mishaps. No fresh road updates emerged Saturday evening.
