A solo male driver escaped injury after losing control of his Andorran-registered car in an early morning crash on the CG-1 near Estadi Comunal in Andorra la Vella. The incident occurred around 1am on Friday, with the vehicle striking a protective barrier and coming to rest in the roadway, causing material damage only.
Police and municipal traffic services from Andorra la Vella quickly secured the scene, closing one northbound lane temporarily until the wreckage was removed. Firefighters cleaned the road surface to restore safety. Responders confirmed the driver had no injuries and tested negative on a breathalyser. Authorities have not released the cause.
In related developments, traffic services in Escaldes-Engordany are investigating a hit-and-run early Friday morning on Avinguda Fiter i Rossell near number 46. Three protective bollards separating the sidewalk from the roadway—intended to shield pedestrians—were severely damaged, likely around 6am. No formal accident report exists yet, but vehicle debris remains at the scene. Mobility cameras are being reviewed to identify the driver, who fled without leaving clear traces. Local sources suggest the motorist may have been under the influence of alcohol and feared detection, though this remains unconfirmed. Officials have urged the responsible party to come forward voluntarily for insurance exchange, noting that non-residents or those without mandatory coverage could face complications. Residents expect quick identification given the area's surveillance.
Elsewhere on the CG-1, a 36-year-old woman driving one of two Andorran-registered cars was injured in a collision at kilometre 4 near Santa Coloma. Police received the alert at 5:45pm Friday. No updates are available on her condition or the cause.
On Thursday evening, a 16-year-old girl lost control of her Andorran-registered motorcycle and fell at kilometre 10.200 on the CG-3 in La Cortinada. Police were notified at 8:06pm. No other vehicles were involved, and she sustained injuries.
