Overview

  • The Change.org petition, launched by the parents of Izán, has gathered over 35,000 signatures within five days, urging immediate safety upgrades to the Puerto de Lunada road.
  • The March 17 crash killed four young friends, including Izán, when their car plunged over 400 meters during a snowstorm on the narrow, unprotected CA-643 road.
  • The Government of Cantabria previously promised safety measures for the hazardous pass but has yet to take any action, drawing criticism from grieving families and the public.
  • The petition demands guardrails, proper signage, road closure during adverse weather, and conversion to one-way traffic to prevent future tragedies.
  • Local residents and emergency services had long warned of the dangers of the Puerto de Lunada, one of northern Spain's most perilous mountain routes, especially during winter conditions.
