A car accident outside RCDE Stadium in Barcelona resulted in 13 injuries just before the La Liga match between RCD Espanyol and FC Barcelona. Authorities confirmed the incident was accidental, and the driver has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.
The incident occurred approximately 90 minutes before kickoff when a white Peugeot 208, driven by a woman aged between 45 and 55, lost control and accelerated into a crowd of fans gathered to welcome the teams. Reports indicate that the driver initially struck a girl, prompting the surrounding crowd to react by shouting and throwing objects at the vehicle. In a state of panic, the driver unintentionally accelerated, causing the car to surge forward and injure additional bystanders.
Emergency services responded promptly, with ten ambulances dispatched to the scene. Thirteen individuals sustained injuries; four were transported to hospitals, while others received on-site treatment. Fortunately, all injuries were classified as minor, with no fatalities reported.
The match was briefly paused in its early stages as officials were informed of the situation. After consultations with security personnel, the game resumed, and Barcelona secured a 2-0 victory, clinching the La Liga title.
Catalan regional president Salvador Illa confirmed that the incident was accidental, emphasizing that there was no deliberate attack. The driver has been arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and causing injury.
