Overview
- At Baiona’s marina, a dump truck tipped during a reverse unload for fill works, and port staff pulled the driver from the cab before water reached it.
- The driver suffered blows to the head and a knee, received first aid on site, and 061 ambulance crews took him to hospital.
- Rising tide water reached part of the truck’s cabin, so responders focused on stabilizing the vehicle to keep it from shifting during removal.
- In a separate case at a VG-20 roundabout between Coia and Navia, a 20‑foot container fell off a truck and blocked lanes toward Bouzas and the Stellantis area, with no injuries reported.
- Guardia Civil de Tráfico opened an investigation into the Vigo spill, and crews expect container lifting and clearance to take hours, a reminder of the added strain heavy freight places on urban port corridors.
