Overview
- Servei Català de Trànsit reports a multi-vehicle collision involving three trucks at L'Aldea that forced the full closure of the AP-7 in both directions.
- Two trucks caught fire and Bombers de la Generalitat deployed 11–13 crews, with the blazes declared out at about 8:35 a.m. local time.
- One truck driver died and another was taken in serious condition to Joan XXIII Hospital in Tarragona, according to the traffic authority.
- The central reservation was heavily damaged and debris littered the roadway, prompting heavy machinery to begin cleanup as officials warn of a prolonged shutdown.
- Traffic is being diverted off the AP-7 via exits 308 (southbound, L'Ampolla) and 322 (northbound, L'Aldea) to the N-340, as the SCT director said a southbound truck crossed the median, striking a northbound vehicle and causing a third truck to overturn.
