Overview
- Two separate road crashes in Catalonia and Madrid late Friday into early Saturday left three drivers dead and a passenger injured.
- In Montblanc (Tarragona), a head-on collision on the N-240 killed both drivers, a 27-year-old from L'Espluga de Francolí and a 50-year-old from El Pont d'Armentera.
- Mossos d'Esquadra, Catalan firefighters and emergency medics extricated the victims, and the route stayed closed overnight with traffic still restricted in the morning.
- Near El Molar on the A-1 north of Madrid, a 25-year-old died after his car hit a truck and was struck by a trailing car, and a 51-year-old woman was taken to La Paz hospital.
- Police opened separate investigations led by Mossos and the Guardia Civil, and the Montblanc fatalities pushed Catalonia’s 2026 road-death count to 38.
