The danger of driving without wheels in Vila-seca

The driver's route and the vehicle's dangerous condition

The man, 47 years old, was zigzagging with his vehicle, which had lost two wheels. Between the TV-3148 and the A-7, he collided with a guardrail, causing a tire to burst and producing a heavy smoke. Despite this, he continued driving for nearly eight kilometers.

Public alert and intervention by the Mossos

Several people alerted the officers after witnessing the dangerous driving. Eventually, the Mossos d'Esquadra stopped the vehicle at kilometer 1160 of the A-7, within the municipal district of Tarragona. The arrest was made for driving under the influence of alcohol and due to the vehicle's hazardous condition.

Legal consequences and measures taken

Technical details and data of the incident

The exact location and timing of the events

The events occurred on Wednesday night between the TV-3148 and the AP-7, specifically at kilometer 1160, in the municipal district of Tarragona. The location is very busy, especially at these hours, which multiplies the risk.

The vehicle's profile and safety features

The car was driving without two wheels and with a burst tire after colliding with the guardrail. This situation exposes the lack of maintenance and the driver's irresponsibility.

It is striking that despite the smoke and the vehicle's condition, the driver continued until the Mossos intercepted him. A recklessness that could have ended in tragedy.

It is clear that in Vila-seca, that driver was hardly an example of skill behind the wheel. And even less of common sense.
