A passenger bus operated by Sagalés plunged approximately 20 metres down an embankment on the BV-5114 road in Fogars de Montclús, Barcelona, following a collision with a car. The accident occurred in the Montseny Natural Park during a trip returning from the area.
Emergency services, including the Catalan Medical Emergency System (SEM) and Firefighters of the Generalitat, reported 83 people injured. The breakdown of injuries includes seven people in serious condition, 18 with moderate injuries, and 58 with minor injuries. Victims were transported to various hospitals, including Vall d'Hebron, Josep Trueta de Girona, and Granollers.
A massive rescue operation was deployed, involving 23 ambulances, two medical helicopters, and 30 firefighting units. Civil Protection activated the Procicat emergency plan, and the Red Cross established a reception center in Sant Celoni to assist those affected. While no fatalities have been confirmed, authorities conducted searches using drones and thermal cameras to ensure no passengers were left in the unstable terrain.
