The Catalan Fire Department rescued a driver on Wednesday night following a traffic accident on the T-11 highway in Tarragona, where a vehicle overturned at a major roundabout.

The emergency call was registered at 11:04 PM. Upon arrival at the Les Gavarres access point, emergency crews found the sole occupant trapped inside the overturned car, requiring specialized extraction equipment to free them.
Four fire crews and members of the Medical Emergency System (SEM) attended the scene. This specific location has seen recurring incidents recently, marking the second significant crash at this roundabout in just two days.
Earlier this week, another vehicle collided with the concrete barriers at the same spot, causing the car to catch fire. Fortunately, in that previous instance, all three passengers managed to escape the vehicle without assistance.
