Overview
- The crash that hit El Papiol on Saturday involved three passenger cars and forced a full closure of the AP‑7 southbound between kilometres 160 and 161.
- Seven Bombers units are extricating occupants trapped in the vehicles while SEM ambulances and Mossos patrols treat and attend to the injured.
- Mossos d'Esquadra have opened a formal investigation into the cause and the Servei Català de Trànsit reports the AP‑7 access to the B‑23 is blocked.
- Traffic jams exceed one kilometre from Sant Cugat toward Barcelona and a separate lane closure near El Vendrell at km 220 is adding northbound delays on the same motorway.
- Drivers should expect prolonged disruption on feeder routes such as the B‑23 and allow extra travel time as rescue and inquiry work continue.
