French Motorcyclist Injured in Andorra Collision as Multiple Crashes Disrupt Roads

A 33-year-old French motorcyclist was injured in a collision with an Andorran-registered car on the lower section of Port d'Envalira along the CG-2 near Pas de la Casa. The incident took place at the 24.5 kilometre marker around 5:15pm on Sunday, as the rider travelled uphill and the descending car overtook another vehicle. Police reports indicate the car tried to avoid the motorcycle but could not prevent the impact, forcing the bike off the road shortly after the Grau Roig junction. Initial accounts suggested the rider lost control independently, but investigators have confirmed the overtaking manoeuvre as the cause. Firefighters, SUM medics and police responded, airlifting the rider—identified as a tourist—to Hospital Nostra Senyora de Meritxell. No updates on his condition are available.

Multiple separate collisions disrupted Andorran roads on Monday morning. At 7:45am, a motorcyclist crashed at the Anyós roundabout in La Massana, with police and firefighters attending; details on injuries or circumstances remain unavailable.

Around 8:45am on the CG-3 near Serra de l'Honor in La Massana, outbound from the urban centre, a car hit a motorcycle, blocking downhill lanes while uphill traffic moved cautiously. Traffic agents, police investigators and medics handled the scene.

Just before 9:45am, a minor collision at Sant Eloi roundabout in Sant Julià de Lòria, heading north toward the capital, led to short delays managed by local traffic officers.

In Andorra la Vella, a 66-year-old driver suffered minor injuries in a two-vehicle crash on Pau Casals street. Police and two ambulances transported him to hospital.

Police investigations into all incidents continue. Separately, an Andorran driver sustained serious injuries in a fatal head-on crash on Saturday afternoon along Spain's L-310 at kilometre 16.9 in Torrefeta i Florejacs, La Segarra. The other driver, 33-year-old J.M.B.M. from Guissona, died at the scene around 4:30pm near Sant Martí de la Morana. The collision trapped both occupants and sparked a small roadside fire; firefighters extracted them. Mossos d'Esquadra, nine fire crews and SEM units responded, closing the road between Gra and Guissona for over three hours. The Andorran was airlifted to Barcelona's Vall d'Hebron hospital in serious condition.

The Pujada a Arinsal hillclimb in La Massana wrapped up its weekend events, launching the Andorran Mountain Automobile Championship (CAAM) and contributing to France's second-division series, with 40 drivers finishing overall. Catalan driver Jordi Vilardell won both days in his Nova NP03 from Moto Club Manresa. Saturday's best time of 2:11.91 gave him a winning aggregate of 4:24.260, ahead of Joan Vinyes in the Osella Proto PA9 and Joan Gil in the Silver Car S3 Evo. Gerard de la Casa placed fourth overall and topped production cars in his Ford Fiesta WRC, followed by Ramon Plaus and Filipe Brandao. On Sunday, Vilardell clocked the fastest run at 2:11.21 over the 4.1km CS-520 course for a final aggregate of 4:22.520, with Gil second and de la Casa third. Other category winners were Cristian Mayoralas (Group 2, Volkswagen Golf GTI), Ferran Font (Group 3, BMW M3), Albert Rodrigo (Group 1, Citroën AX GTI) and Jordi Enjuanes (Group 6). In the French category, Benoît Bouché took both days in his Reynard 99L with times of 2:17.01 and 2:16.06, ahead of Pascal Campi and Sarah Bernard on Sunday.

Sunday brought two medical incidents at the event. A 76-year-old French competitor suffered a heart attack at the finish line, outside competition. After 20 minutes of resuscitation, teams stabilised him for helicopter transfer to Hospital Nostra Senyora de Meritxell, then to Barcelona for specialist treatment; his status is unknown. Earlier, Andorran Joan Vinyes júnior rolled his car during a run, fracturing two ribs but avoiding serious harm after checks. The following car clipped the wreckage despite 30-second intervals. Officials called it a standard racing mishap, like others on Saturday without major issues, and confirmed Vinyes is stable under rest.
