The A-2 highway passing through the Segarra region saw a chaotic Friday as more than thirty vehicles were disabled in just six hours due to the hazardous state of the road surface.

Local assistance companies in Cervera faced an overwhelming workload. Grues Ametllers reported performing over thirty services between 5:00 PM and 11:00 PM. The majority of incidents involved punctured tires, while some drivers reported shattered windshields caused by loose asphalt debris flying off the road.

"All the cars had punctured tires and some even had broken glass due to asphalt detachments."

Regular commuters are expressing growing outrage. Gemma Minguet, a resident of Tornabous, shared that she has had to replace her windshield three times since April 2024. Drivers are now seeking alternative routes to avoid the A-2, while waiting for the Spanish Government to initiate promised emergency repairs.
