Two Early-Morning Crashes in Galicia Leave One Driver Freed After Rollover and Two Minor Injuries

Emergency teams freed a trapped driver and treated two people with minor injuries, highlighting risks from night rollovers and left-turn maneuvers on regional roads.

Overview

  • A single-vehicle rollover occurred in Urcela (parish of Moreira, Ponteareas) just after 2:30 a.m., with the conscious lone driver calling 112 Galicia to report being trapped inside the overturned car.
  • GES-SPEIS rescue crews reached the scene alongside Guardia Civil de Tráfico, Policía Local and Galicia-061 medical teams, extricated the driver and provided on-site medical care.
  • Around 7:20 a.m. two cars collided head-on at km 66 of the AC-550 in Outes after one vehicle attempted a left turn, according to the Guardia Civil's initial account.
  • The Outes crash produced two minor injuries; one person was taken by ambulance and the other went to a medical center accompanied by a relative, and no fatalities were reported in either incident.
  • Local authorities' accounts stress the role of coordinated emergency response and point to turning maneuvers and nighttime driving as common factors that increase collision risk on regional roads like the AC-550.
