Guardia Civil Uncovers Teo ‘Cambiazo’ as Two Referred to Court Over Alleged Post‑Crash Cover‑Up

A GIAT probe led to court referral after exposing an alleged identity swap to conceal an unlicensed, intoxicated driver.

Overview

  • Authorities say the crash occurred on March 20 on the DP‑0205 in Teo when a car left the road and overturned, crushing the driver’s compartment.
  • At the scene, occupants claimed a woman had been driving and that four people were in the vehicle, but investigators later determined there were only three.
  • GIAT noted the presented driver had no injuries despite the damage pattern and flagged an excessive delay in calling emergency services.
  • Investigators identified a young man as the suspected driver, reporting he had lost all license points and returned a 0.52 mg/l alcohol reading, above the legal limit.
  • Two individuals have been placed at judicial disposal on suspicion of falsification, attempted insurance fraud, and road‑safety offenses, and proceedings are ongoing.
