A lorry manoeuvring near the Massana cement plant struck a worker in the access area under the Dos Valires tunnel viaduct at Anyós yesterday afternoon, but the incident caused no serious injuries.
The accident occurred around 6pm local time. The worker, described as a senior official at the facility, was positioned behind the vehicle when it hit him. He was rushed to hospital by ambulance for medical checks, which ruled out any significant wounds.
Emergency medical teams and several police units responded promptly to the scene. A labour inspector also attended to investigate the circumstances, particularly why the driver failed to spot the worker and why the man did not move out of the way in time. The vehicles are equipped with acoustic warning devices that should alert those nearby if functioning properly.
The dual traffic and workplace incident briefly disrupted operations, forcing other lorries bound for the plant to wait and causing minor congestion at the access point. Traffic has since normalised with no ongoing access issues.
Authorities are examining the details, but the worker's light injuries were the main positive outcome amid the scare.
