One Injured After Dramatic Crash Between Truck and Car on Ibiza–Sant Antoni Road

August 26, 2026

A dramatic traffic accident on the Ibiza–Sant Antoni road left one person injured on Monday afternoon after a car collided with a goods truck near the Montecristo industrial estate.

The crash happened at around 2:40pm, according to the Guardia Civil, and involved a Volkswagen Tiguan and a box truck. The car was badly damaged in the collision and ended up against the roadside barrier.

Car Hit by Truck While Joining the Main Road

According to the initial information reported by Noudiari, the Volkswagen Tiguan was joining the main road from one of the exits of the Montecristo industrial estate when it was struck on its left side by the goods truck.

The impact was concentrated around the passenger-side door, causing the car to be thrown towards the right-hand side of the road.

It eventually became completely embedded in the metal barrier separating the pavement from the roadway.

Images from the scene show the severity of the collision, with substantial damage to the vehicle.

One Person Taken to Hospital

The only occupant of the car was injured in the crash.

Emergency medical services treated the person at the scene before they were taken by ambulance to a medical centre for further assessment.

The Guardia Civil later confirmed to Periódico de Ibiza y Formentera that the injuries were considered minor.

No other injuries were reported.

Major Recovery Operation

Because the car had become firmly trapped against the roadside barrier, removing it required a significant recovery operation.

Grúas Ibiza sent two specialist recovery teams, including a vehicle equipped with a boom crane, to extract the damaged Volkswagen from the structure.

The operation was necessary to safely free the vehicle and clear the affected section of the road.

Guardia Civil Investigates the Crash

Traffic officers from the Guardia Civil attended the scene to manage traffic and prepare the official accident report.

The precise circumstances that led to the collision remain under investigation.

The Ibiza–Sant Antoni road is one of the island's busiest routes, particularly during the summer season, when traffic levels increase significantly.

The crash caused disruption around the area while emergency and recovery crews worked at the scene.

Thankfully, the incident resulted in one reported minor injury rather than a more serious outcome, despite the dramatic appearance of the collision.
