Emergency services responded to a dramatic single-vehicle crash at the Tarter roundabout on the CG-2 in Canillo parish shortly before 9am today, amid worsening snow conditions.
The driver lost control and collided with a roadside protection barrier. No injuries were reported despite the severity of the impact, according to police. The vehicle, bearing Spanish plates and driven by a non-resident, was the only one involved and sustained material damage.
Authorities fined the driver for failing to equip the car with mandatory winter gear, which contributed to the skid as snow began accumulating heavily on the road. Andorra's Mobility service has activated its yellow alert phase due to the weather-related hazards.
Firefighters, police, and Canillo traffic agents attended the scene to manage the incident, clear any debris if needed, and handle traffic flow. The road remained open with no major disruptions noted.
