Overview
- A microbus carrying members of the Peña Celtista de Pontevedra caught fire on the AP-9 at kilometre 145 near Vilaboa early Friday, November 6, 2026, and was completely destroyed.
- All 20 people on board—19 supporters and the driver—left the vehicle quickly, jumped a roadside fence and moved to safety, and authorities confirmed there were no injuries.
- Passengers and the driver reported the vehicle had lost power, emitted a burning smell and showed signs of clutch trouble before stopping, but officials have not yet issued a formal technical finding on the cause.
- The Guardia Civil de Tráfico, Bomberos de O Morrazo, road maintenance crews and regional forest teams extinguished the blaze, put out a small nearby vegetation fire and kept one lane closed during cleanup and removal of the wreck.
- The episode raises safety concerns about single coaches that carry many supporters after away matches and could lead to tougher checks on maintenance and emergency procedures for organized fan travel.
