A vehicle plunged from a five-meter height this Monday evening in Igualada, landing in front of the ViuB2 residential complex around 8:30 PM, triggering a major emergency response.

The car reportedly left the road and crashed through a safety barrier before falling. Witnesses at the scene indicated that the vehicle dropped from a significant height, although the specific cause of the crash remains unclear.
Two Fire Brigade units and two Medical Emergency System (SEM) ambulances arrived shortly after the incident. Rescue teams worked on-site to manage the situation, but no official information regarding injuries or the condition of the occupants has been released yet.
While investigations are ongoing, some reports from the scene suggest the accident might have followed a collision between two vehicles, though this has not been officially confirmed by authorities.
