A structural collapse occurred at Bar Tempranillo in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, La Rioja, during the early hours of a Saturday. The incident took place around 5:25 AM while approximately 50 people were inside the establishment participating in a local Wine Fest trail. The collapse reportedly began with the floor giving way, followed by the ceiling and a wall in an adjacent property.

Emergency services, including firefighters and the Guardia Civil, responded to the scene. While initial reports suggested between 25 and 30 people might be trapped, rescue teams confirmed no one remained buried. Twelve individuals sustained injuries, ranging from minor to moderate, including one man with a possible open leg fracture. Nine people were transported to medical facilities in Logroño and Haro.

Subsequent investigations have linked the collapse to the discovery of an unknown cave located beneath the bar. Mayor Ramón Ramírez stated that the existence of the cave was a surprise to both the community and the building owner. Following the incident, the mayor declared the building in a state of ruin, necessitating its complete demolition.
