The AP-7 motorway reopened fully near Sant Cugat del Vallès at 09:45 on Monday 21 September after a collision involving a lorry and two cars, one of which overturned, according to [3CatInfo](https://www.3cat.cat/3catinfo/llargues-cues-a-lap-7-a-sant-cugat-per-un-accident-i-a-la-ronda-de-dalt-per-lavaria-dun-camio/noticia/3429708/?ref=barna.news). Only one southbound lane had remained open, producing queues of up to 19 kilometres from Mollet del Vallès.

Firefighters received the alert at 06:29 and sent four crews to the scene. The vehicles were removed before all lanes reopened.

For drivers travelling into Barcelona, disruption was also reported on the Ronda de Dalt and Ronda del Litoral, two of the city’s major ring roads. A broken-down lorry blocked a lane on the Ronda de Dalt towards Llobregat for more than two hours between exits 10 and 11, causing congestion from the Trinitat interchange to Diagonal.
