September 13, 2026

A driver was seriously injured on Saturday morning after his vehicle collided with a guardrail and overturned several times on the road between Ibiza Town and Sant Joan.

The crash happened at around 9am on the EI-300. The driver was the only person inside the vehicle and became trapped in the passenger compartment following the impact.

Vehicle Overturns Several Times

The vehicle, a Range Rover Evoque, struck the guardrail on the right-hand side of the road.

The impact was severe enough to tear away the vehicle's front-right axle and damage the guardrail.

The car then rolled several times before coming to rest around 50 metres from the point of impact, ending up upside down across part of the roadway.

No other vehicles were involved in the crash.

Driver Trapped Inside

The driver suffered multiple contusions and numerous cuts across his body and was unable to get out of the vehicle.

Firefighters were called to the scene and carried out an extrication operation to free him from inside the damaged car.

Once released, the injured driver was treated by emergency medical services and transported by ambulance to hospital.

Guardia Civil Investigates

The Guardia Civil Traffic Division attended the scene, regulated traffic and began investigating the circumstances of the accident.

At this stage, the cause of the crash has not been established.

The investigation will determine why the vehicle left its path and collided with the guardrail.

Road Cleared After the Crash

The accident scattered debris across the road and nearby areas.

Ibiza's Consell road-maintenance service removed the debris and helped restore the affected section of the road.

A roadside assistance team subsequently used a crane to remove the overturned vehicle.
