The crash happened on the stretch towards the C-32, a route used by drivers travelling through the Barcelona area. The [Generalitat de Catalunya](https://govern.cat/salapremsa/notes-premsa/886432/balanc-de-la-sinistralitat-a-la-xarxa-viaria-catalana-fins-al-31-d-octubre?ref=barna.news) published its own press note on this. The Mossos d'Esquadra, Catalonia's regional police, received the alert at 15:06\. The fall occurred at kilometre marker 26.5, according to the Servei Català de Trànsit, the Catalan traffic authority. Police are investigating the cause. Two Mossos patrols, two units from the Generalitat's fire service and ground units from the Sistema d'Emergències Mèdiques, the medical emergency service, were sent to the scene. --- ## Road deaths since the end of October The traffic authority put the 2026 death toll at 111 after the Montgat crash. In a separate [provisional report published on 1st November](https://govern.cat/salapremsa/notes-premsa/886432/balanc-de-la-sinistralitat-a-la-xarxa-viaria-catalana-fins-al-31-d-octubre?ref=barna.news), it recorded 106 deaths on Catalonia's roads between towns and cities through 31st October. The two totals cover different periods and are five apart. Those 106 people died in 103 fatal crashes. The authority said the death toll for the first ten months was 13% lower than during the same period in 2025, when 122 people died in 114 fatal crashes. Compared with the same period in 2019, the authority recorded 51 fewer deaths, a fall of 32%. Eleven people died in October 2026, one fewer than in October 2025. ### Motorcyclists accounted for 44 deaths The provisional figures through 31st October included: - 44 motorcyclists, seven more than in the same period in 2025. - 10 pedestrians, two fewer than a year earlier. - Nine cyclists, four more than a year earlier. Together, those three groups accounted for 63 of the 106 deaths, or 59%. The authority also recorded 631 people seriously injured, down from 754 in the same period of 2025. In its October report, the traffic authority urged road users to take care and avoid risks including inappropriate speed, distraction and alcohol or drugs. It has not attributed the Montgat fall to any of those factors.
