Overview

  • The crash occurred at 7:45 p.m. on the BV-5224 outside Manlleu as the family car entered a roundabout.
  • The vehicle had departed Barcelona carrying a couple and their two children in the rear seats.
  • Mossos d’Esquadra’s leading theory is that the boy’s older brother accidentally opened the left rear door while playing.
