Why It Matters
The AP-7 highway registers road incidents that affect traffic in Catalonia.
Three accidents involving four trucks, in which one person died, forced the AP-7 motorway to be closed to traffic this Saturday in the Tarragona municipality of Mont-roig del Camp in the direction of Barcelona and, partially, in the Barcelona municipality of Santa Margarida i els Monjos, also in the north direction.
One of the accidents occurred when a truck transporting lettuce overturned at kilometer 273.1, as reported by the Servei Català de Trànsit (SCT).
The second occurred at kilometer 274 of the AP-7 due to a collision between two trucks, a collision in which one person died.
Trànsit has enabled detours through exit 281, between the municipalities of Vandellòs and L'Hospitalet de l'Infant to reconnect with the AP-7.
The highway is also closed in the Barcelona direction at Santa Margarida i els Monjos, where you can only travel in one lane.
In this case, the accident occurred when a truck and a van collided. Trànsit has enabled alternative detours along the C-32 highway and the N-340.
