Overview
- An articulated tanker overturned at kilometer 164 on the AP-9 in Mos while carrying 32,000 litres of diesel, prompting an immediate closure and restricted access to the scene for safety.
- The Guardia Civil has taken command of traffic control and said it will announce any developments and the reopening of the motorway when it is safe to do so.
- Authorities have mobilized containment and clearance procedures because a large diesel load raises fire and environmental risks that require specialist cleanup.
- Separately, a nighttime collision on the PO-552 in Tomiño required extrication of a trapped occupant and left three people injured, all of whom were taken to the regional referral hospital.
- The AP-9 is a main route between Vigo/Pontevedra and Tui, so the closure is expected to cause regional delays and rerouting until emergency teams finish safety checks and removal operations.
