Two seriously injured when a bus overturned on the C-32 in Santa Susanna

BarcelonaA coach overturned this Sunday at noon on the C-32 highway near Santa Susanna, in the Maresme region, leaving several people injured. Two of them, in serious condition, were taken to the Germans Trias y Pujol Hospital in Badalona, and another, in less serious condition, was taken to the Mataró Hospital. The vehicle was carrying around 60 French nationals and may have left the road and fallen down a slope, according to the initial hypotheses of the accident investigation. However, most of the passengers emerged unharmed from the accident, got off the vehicle on their own, and continued on their planned route with another coach from the transport company organizing the trip.

The accident was reported at 12:22 p.m. at kilometer 127.7 of the C-32, heading towards Barcelona. A total of 14 units from the Generalitat Fire Brigade, eight ambulances from the Emergency Medical System (SEM), two medical helicopters, and a joint team from both bodies were dispatched to the scene to assist those affected. In total, healthcare professionals treated 53 people.

In addition to the most serious injuries, two people were also slightly injured and taken to Mataró Hospital and another five to Calella Hospital. The rest of the people affected by the accident were discharged and taken to the Can Xaubet Pavilion in Pineda de Mar. After receiving treatment, they continued their route.

Emergency services inspected the interior of the overturned coach to verify that no one was trapped inside. Once it was stabilized, firefighters cleared the area around the coach to "rule out any further damage." Civil Protection also activated the Procicat pre-alert, and the motorway was completely closed in the direction of Barcelona due to the incident, causing 2 kilometers of traffic jams until a lane was finally opened to traffic. The 112 hotline received about fifteen calls regarding the accident.
