Injured Driver Seeks Witnesses After Serious Collision on Ibiza’s Santa Gertrudis Road

October 15, 2026

A woman injured in a road collision on Ibiza’s Santa Gertrudis road is appealing for witnesses to come forward, saying she suffered severe bruising and feared for her life after the impact on Friday, 9 October.

The woman, who has chosen to remain anonymous, was taken to a hospital on the island following the collision because of the severity of her injuries. Three days after the incident, she was still seeking people who may have witnessed what happened and could help clarify the circumstances.

Her appeal was reported on Tuesday, 13 October, as she continued to deal with the physical effects of the crash.

What Happened on the Santa Gertrudis Road?

According to the woman’s account, she was driving alone along the Santa Gertrudis road when she encountered a line of stationary vehicles. She believed the cars might have been waiting to enter a petrol station.

She said she was travelling slowly when a powerful impact occurred. She could not explain exactly what had caused the collision and is now hoping that anyone who saw the incident will be able to provide further information.

The impact left her fearing that her life was in danger. She recalled thinking that she might not survive the crash.

Smoke Came from the Vehicle After the Impact

The woman said smoke began coming from her vehicle shortly after the collision. Worried that it could catch fire, she managed to get out and remove her belongings.

She had been preparing to leave Ibiza and move to mainland Spain, and the car contained the documents she needed for the move. She said she retrieved them because she feared the vehicle might start burning.

The experience left her shaken, particularly given the seriousness of her injuries.

Severe Bruising and Ongoing Pain

The woman described extensive bruising, especially across her chest, where she said the affected area had turned dark blue. Although she was relieved not to have suffered any broken bones, she continued to experience significant pain and bruising.

She said people had told her she was fortunate to have survived, recalling the words: “I could be dead.”

Her injuries prompted hospital treatment, and she is now asking for help to establish exactly how the collision happened.

An Appeal for Witnesses

The woman is urgently seeking anyone who was on the Santa Gertrudis road at the time and may have seen the collision or events immediately leading up to it.

Witness accounts could help clarify the sequence of events and provide information that she currently does not have.

The published report does not provide a direct telephone number or a dedicated contact channel for the appeal. Anyone with relevant information should seek guidance from the appropriate police service on Ibiza.

The circumstances of the collision have not been fully established in the information available for this report. The woman’s appeal is intended to help clarify what happened and identify anyone who may have witnessed the incident.
