A traffic accident involving several vehicles forced the closure of the C-16 road between Viladecavalls and Vacarisses heading towards Barcelona around seven o'clock on Tuesday, January 20.

The incident occurred on the C-16, one of the main communication routes in Vallès Occidental. The closure affected traffic flow towards the Catalan capital, generating significant congestion during a high-density traffic period.
The traffic interruption lasted for a few minutes, the necessary time for emergency services and road maintenance units to attend to the vehicles involved and clear the roadway.
Although initial information does not detail the exact number of injuries or their severity, the rapid response allowed the road to be partially reopened shortly after 7:00 PM, progressively normalizing circulation in the area.
This stretch of the C-16 is known for its importance as a connection axis between regions such as Bages and the metropolitan area of Barcelona, which heightens the impact of any road incident.
