The serious accident between a Vigo Local Police patrol car and a private car

The Local Police of Vigo have started the new year 2025 with a serious collision in which four people were injured.

The accident occurred this afternoon on Avenida de la Gran Vía, near the tunnel that passes under Plaza de España. The collision involved a Renault Kadjar from the Vigo Local Police (PL 08), a vehicle acquired in 2021 by the city council to replace the old Citröen C4 Picasso of this police force, and a private Citröen C4, metallic in colour. Both cars were seriously damaged. The collision must have been brutal.

According to Atlántico Diario, the accident occurred when the police vehicle was driving with its emergency lights on responding to a fight. The other vehicle was driving on a cross road and collided with the local police car.

The accident resulted in four injuries. Several ambulances, municipal cranes and a truck from the Vigo Fire Department were dispatched to the scene of the accident. The collision not only affected the cars, but also damaged a traffic light and a billboard belonging to the Vigo City Council. I wish a speedy recovery to all those injured.

It should be noted that there was already an accident in this same place in May 2022, with a collision between an ambulance and two other vehicles. As in this case, the ambulance was destroyed. You can see here more photos of today's event that I have uploaded to my Flickr account.
