Why It Matters
Three accidents involving four trucks on the AP-7 motorway cause roadblocks and delays in the direction of Barcelona.
Three accidents on the AP-7, with four trucks involved, are causing significant damage in the direction of Barcelona this Saturday. The most serious accident was recorded in Mont-roig del Camp, where a person died in a rear-end collision between two heavy vehicles.
In this same area, two accidents have occurred just one kilometer apart. At kilometer point 273.1, a truck transporting lettuce overturned, while at kilometer 274 two other trucks collided due to rear-end collisions. One person has died in this second accident.
The two accidents force the northbound highway to be closed near Mont-roig del Camp. The director of the Servei Català de Trànsit (SCT), Ramon Lamiel, has warned in statements to RAC1 that the road will not be able to reopen, at least, for about ten hours due to the complexity of the removal of vehicles and cargo.
Trànsit has enabled detours at exit 281, between Vandellòs and l'Hospitalet de l'Infant, to allow drivers to follow an alternative route and later rejoin the AP-7.
Adding to the difficulties in Tarragona is a third accident in Santa Margarida i els Monjos, already in the province of Barcelona, where a truck and a van have collided, also heading north. Traffic is partially closed and only one lane remains open.
At this point, Trànsit recommends using the C-32 and the N-340 as alternatives.
