A bus left the BV-5114 road in the municipality of Fogars de Montclús (Barcelona), within the Montseny natural park, and fell down an embankment of about 20 metres on Sunday 25 October at around 16:43, according to Tribuna de Zamora and El Liberal. According to Tribuna de Zamora, it was a Sagalés vehicle on route 573, which links the Rodalies station in Sant Celoni with Santa Fe del Montseny, with 65 seats.
The updated toll from the Medical Emergency System (SEM) is 83 injured: 7 seriously, 18 less seriously and 58 slightly, according to El Liberal; the Catalan health minister, Olga Pané, gave the same figures, according to Tribuna de Zamora. Initial reports spoke of 80 injured. The injured were taken to several hospitals, including those in Granollers, Josep Trueta (Girona) and Vall d'Hebron (Barcelona).
According to Bombers inspector Santi Lleonart, quoted by Tribuna de Zamora, more than 60 firefighters, mountain rescue specialists, 23 ambulances and two medical helicopters took part. Civil Protection activated the Procicat plan at alert level for a passenger transport emergency, according to Telemadrid, which cites its account on X, and opened a reception centre in Sant Celoni together with the Red Cross. The Mossos d'Esquadra closed the road in both directions.
Sources disagree on how the accident happened: Telemadrid reports a collision between the bus and a car, while Tribuna de Zamora states that no other vehicles were involved. The cause is under investigation. Nor has it been specified how many people were travelling on the bus or the condition of the seriously injured this Monday; no deaths have been reported. Sagalés says it is cooperating with the emergency services, according to Tribuna de Zamora.
This story stands on its own facts. The Post Apocalyptic does not link it to other incidents unless the sources demonstrate a connection.
