American motor racing is going through one of its toughest moments after the death of NASCAR legend Greg Biffle was confirmed in a tragic plane crash on Thursday, December 18 in North Carolina. The 55-year-old pilot was traveling with his family in an aircraft he owned that crashed while attempting to land at the Statesville Regional Airport, causing the death of all the occupants on board.

The event, which has shaken both the motoring world and the American public opinion, occurred at 10:15 a.m. local time. The aircraft, a Cessna C550, was en route from Statesville to Bradenton, Florida, when it suffered the fatal accident in adverse weather conditions, marked by heavy fog.

An accident that leaves motor racing in mourning

Greg Biffle, his wife Cristina Grossu Biffle, and their two children, Emma, 14, and Ryder, just 5, lost their lives in the accident. In addition, two other people on the plane also died, adding to the magnitude of the tragedy.

At first, there was confusion as to whether the former NASCAR driver and his family were aboard the aircraft. Confirmation came shortly thereafter from content creator and pilot Garrett Mitchell, known as Cleetus McFarland, who was scheduled to meet them later that day.

«Sadly, I can confirm that Greg Biffle, his wife Cristina, daughter Emma and son Ryder were on that plane…because they were going to spend the afternoon with us. We are devastated. I am so sorry to share this «said Mitchell, visibly affected by the news.

What is known so far about the incident

According to initial reports gathered by the Associated Press, the plane crashed while attempting to land at Statesville Regional Airport, a maneuver complicated by the presence of a fog storm that significantly reduced visibility.

The Iredell County Sheriff’s Office initially assumed oversight of the incident. Hours later, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) joined the investigations to clarify the exact causes of the accident and determine if there was any technical or human failure.

In a brief appearance before the media, Josh Ferguson, manager of the airport, explained the current situation at the venue and the status of the investigation:»We have no information about the cause. The airport is closed until further notice. It will take time to remove the debris from the runway. «.

At this time, no specific factors have been confirmed to explain the accident, beyond the difficult weather conditions at the time of landing. Authorities have indicated that the investigation process will be long and thorough.

Greg Biffle, a NASCAR historical figure

The death of Greg Biffle is an irreparable loss for American motorsports. Considered one of the greatest names in NASCAR in recent decades, Biffle left an indelible mark on the competition.

He was champion of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2000 and managed to repeat the feat by becoming champion of the NASCAR Busch Series in 2002. Throughout his career in the top category, he achieved 19 victories, establishing himself as one of the most consistent and respected drivers in the paddock.

His career was officially recognized in 2023, when he was included in the list of the 75 greatest drivers in NASCAR history, an honor reserved for the great legends of the sport.

Although in the last decade his presence on the tracks was sporadic, his name continued to be a reference for new generations of drivers and fans.

A life beyond racing

In recent years, Greg Biffle had focused much of his energy on projects away from competition. He stood out especially for his philanthropic work, focused on animal welfare through the Greg Biffle Foundation, an initiative that supported different causes related to animal protection and rescue.

In addition, Biffle was a registered airline pilot and used his own helicopter on various humanitarian relief missions. In 2024, he was actively involved in relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, transporting essential supplies to affected areas of western North Carolina.

This commitment to the community reinforced his public image as someone willing to help beyond the sport that made him famous.

Impact and reactions in the motor world

News of the death of Greg Biffle and his family prompted a flurry of condolences and tributes from the motorsports community. Drivers, teams and fans expressed their dismay at the loss of a key NASCAR figure and the personal tragedy surrounding the event.

Beyond the titles and statistics, many remember Biffle for his competitive nature, his professionalism and his closeness to the fans, qualities that made him one of the most beloved names in the championship.

An open investigation and many questions

While the removal of the wreckage continues and the airport remains closed, the investigation is ongoing. The FAA’s involvement will be crucial to reconstruct the last minutes of the flight and clarify what exactly happened during the landing attempt.

The death of Greg Biffle, along with that of his wife and children, leaves a deep void in NASCAR and in the community that accompanied him for decades. A tragedy that transcends the sport and puts the spotlight back on the risks of private aviation under adverse weather conditions.

For now, the motor racing world remains silent and pays tribute to one of its great legends, remembering both the champion and the committed man he was off the track.

A serious traffic accident recorded this morning at the Puente Cristo de la Expiración, popularly known as Puente del Cachorro, has cost the life of Nacho Ansó, 53, director of the NH Plaza de Armas hotel in Seville. The accident, a head-on collision between a motorcycle and a car, occurred around 9.05 am on Tuesday and has been a blow to the local hotel sector and the city, which in less than a week has suffered two fatal accidents involving motorcyclists.

A head-on collision with fatal consequences

As reported by sources of the 112 Emergency Service, the accident occurred when a motorcycle collided head-on with a car in one of the accesses to the Andalusian capital by the Cristo de la Expiración Bridge. The impact was so violent that it caused the death of the motorcyclist, who was later identified as Nacho Ansó.

Ignacio Ansó, also known in some references as Ignacio Ansó Armendáriz, was a well-known professional in the hotel sector. Aged 53, he had lived in Seville for several decades and had spent much of his career in the NH hotel chain, both in Spanish cities such as Zaragoza and Pamplona before settling permanently in the Andalusian capital.

Presence of emergency services and traffic conditions

A large number of National Police, Local Police and 061 health services immediately moved to the scene of the accident to attend the situation and take charge of the investigation of the facts. As a result of the accident, the authorities had to cut the traffic in the Puente del Cachorro, which caused important collapses in the access to Seville from the SE-30 and in the Paseo Colón, until alternative itineraries could be enabled.

From the City Council of Seville, through its official channels, it was reported that the Local Police has taken charge of the investigation related to the collision, with the aim of clarifying the causes that led to the head-on collision. In parallel, it was indicated that detours have been activated to facilitate the circulation towards the city, in a morning that has been particularly complicated for urban traffic.

Decades of professional experience

Ignacio Ansó was a professional with a consolidated career in the hotel sector and closely linked to the NH chain. His career began in 1995, when he was head of reception at the NH Gran Hotel in Zaragoza, a position he held until 1997. Only two years later, he had already been appointed manager of the same hotel, an important step in his professional development.

In 2004, Ansó moved to Seville to take over the management of the NH Plaza de Armas, an establishment he ran until 2012. Subsequently, he took the reins of the NH Collection in the city, a position he held for several years and which consolidated him as a relevant figure within the Andalusian tourism sector. A few months ago, he returned to manage again the establishment located in Marqués de Paradas, a position he held until the day of his death.

In addition to his career in Seville, Ansó was also director of the Tryp Sancho Ramírez hotel in Pamplona, which demonstrates his experience and professional projection beyond Andalusia.

Reactions after the accident

The death of Nacho Ansó has caused consternation in the hotel community and among those who knew him, both for his professional career and for his presence in the social and business life of Seville. The tourism sector, which in recent years has played a central role in the city’s economic recovery, mourns the loss of one of its best known representatives.

This fatal accident is in addition to the one that occurred last Sunday in Seville, when another 47-year-old motorcyclist lost his life after losing control of his vehicle on the San Bernardo Bridge. The repetition of accidents of this type in the city this week has set off alarm bells about road safety and mobility conditions at critical points in the urban network.

]]>
A serious traffic accident occurred this Friday on the A-66 highway, passing through the municipality of Guillena (Seville), has caused the death of three people and has left at least two slightly injured. The accident occurred at around 14:00 and forced the total closure of the road in the direction of Seville, generating significant delays for several hours.

According to the information provided by the Guardia Civil, the accident involved three vehicles, two of them heavy trucks and a car. The impact was very violent and left the car completely destroyed, trapped between the two trucks, one of which overturned on the road.

A multiple crash with fatal consequences

The first alert calls to the 112 emergency service described a collision of great magnitude. Witnesses reported that the car had been literally crushed between the two trucks, raising immediate fears for the lives of its occupants.

Traffic police, 061 health services, firefighters from the Seville Provincial Council, highway maintenance personnel and a heavy-duty crane were immediately deployed to the scene of the accident in order to remove the vehicles involved. The complexity of the scene required a coordinated and prolonged intervention.

The medical services even mobilized a medical helicopter to evacuate the injured as quickly as possible. However, despite the efforts made, it was not possible to save the lives of three people, who died at the scene of the accident or shortly afterwards due to the seriousness of their injuries.

Two slightly injured taken to hospital

In addition to the three fatalities, two other people were slightly injured. Both were initially treated at the scene of the accident and later evacuated to the Virgen Macarena Hospital in Seville, where they were admitted for observation.

Health sources confirmed that their condition is not serious, although they remain under medical follow-up due to the impact suffered and the context of the accident.

Traffic cuts and traffic jams on the A-66

The accident had a strong impact on traffic. The A-66 highway was completely cut off at kilometer 796 in the direction of Seville, just at the exit of Guillena towards this road. The interruption of traffic caused traffic jams of more than three kilometers in the hours following the accident.

To alleviate the situation, the authorities enabled an alternative detour at kilometer 797, already in the municipality of Gerena. Even so, the congestion was considerable while the rescue, cleaning and removal of the accident vehicles was being carried out.

Normal traffic could not be restored until late in the afternoon, once firefighters and maintenance crews were able to completely clear the roadway.

Investigation points to possible distraction

The Guardia Civil has opened an investigation to clarify the exact causes of the accident. According to sources close to the investigation, the main hypothesis currently being considered is a possible distraction of the driver of one of the trucks involved.

However, the officers continue to collect data and analyze the evidence at the accident scene, as well as the testimonies of those involved and witnesses, before closing the final statement.

The armed forces remind us that this type of multiple accidents are usually related to factors such as lack of attention, speeding or lack of safety distance, especially on fast roads with heavy traffic.

Unknowns about the fatalities

The identities of the three deceased persons and the ages of the victims have not been confirmed at this time. The vehicles in which they were traveling at the time of the accident have not been specified.

Sources of the Guillena City Council indicated that, at this time, it is not known if the deceased were directly related to the town. The consistory has shown its dismay at what happened and has conveyed its condolences to the families affected.

The Saja-Nansa region dawned this Sunday immersed in a sadness difficult to describe. Flags are flying at half mast in Cabezón de la Sal and Mazcuerras, the two municipalities that have decreed three days of official mourning after the accident that, in the early hours of Saturday to Sunday, claimed the lives of three young people aged 22, 23 and 25 years. They were traveling together in a car that, for reasons still under investigation, «made several somersaults and ended up totally destroyed and with its three occupants dead».

The deceased, Alex F.S., 25; Borja D.V., 23; and Pau S.G., 22, were friends of the same gang and well known in the area. The news has caused a deep impact among the neighbors. An employee of the Los Abetos restaurant, next to whose parking lot the vehicle was left, summed it up with pain: «The only thing I know is that they were from here, that we knew them, we know their parents and we are all devastated».

Mourning in two municipalities and commotion in the whole region

The tragedy has hit especially Cabezón de la Sal and Mazcuerras, places of origin of the young people. Both localities announced the official mourning as «a sign of pain and respect for the loss of the three young neighbors and friends», according to the municipal resolution, which also moved to the families «the deepest condolences of the entire municipal corporation».

The mayor of Cabezón de la Sal, Víctor Reinoso, confirmed to Europa Press that this «tragic» news «has shocked the whole region», where no one remembers such a devastating accident in recent years.

An accident on a rainy night

The accident occurred at around 00.30 hours on the N-634 road, at the height of Virgen de la Peña, in a wet stretch after a day of rain. The first hypotheses suggest that the driver, the youngest of the group, lost control, went up to an island and the car ended up overturning several times before leaving the road and ending up in the parking lot of the restaurant.

The 112 Emergency Attention Center reported that one of the young men survived the impact and was rescued by regional firefighters from the Valdáliga fire station, but died later. The other two occupants died on the spot, and it was confirmed that no other vehicle was involved.

Multi-victim operation and psychological support

Due to the «extreme seriousness of the accident», 112 activated the multiple victim protocol at Level 1, which mobilized the psychologists of the Government of Cantabria to attend to family members and relatives who, desperate, came to the scene after learning of the accident.

The Guardia Civil de Tráfico and 061 medical personnel were also on the scene, although nothing could be done for the youngsters. The scene, according to witnesses, was marked by consternation, silence and mutual support among neighbors and relatives.

Painful expressions of grief throughout Cantabria

Throughout Sunday there were messages of condolence from both authorities and local entities. One of the most symbolic was that of Club Deportivo Valdáliga, the team in which Borja played, which decided to suspend all the games of the weekend due to the «sad» news of the death of the three friends.

In its communiqué, the club expressed that «the Valdáliga family is in mourning» and sent «all its support, affection and strength» to those who are suffering the loss.

A broken county and a shared mourning

The impact of the accident transcends the local level. The three young men were well known in the area, and their simultaneous death has left a huge void in two municipalities deeply united by proximity and personal relationships. The image of flags at half-mast and messages of support have become the visible symbols of a collective wound that will take time to heal.

The investigation continues, but the pain is already irreversible. Cantabria bids farewell to three lives cut short too soon, while their neighbors cling to mutual support to face a tragedy that has paralyzed the entire region.

The Saja-Nansa region dawned this Sunday immersed in a sadness difficult to describe. Flags are flying at half mast in Cabezón de la Sal and Mazcuerras, the two municipalities that have decreed three days of official mourning after the accident that, in the early hours of Saturday to Sunday, claimed the lives of three young people aged 22, 23 and 25 years. They were traveling together in a car that, for reasons still under investigation, «made several somersaults and ended up totally destroyed and with its three occupants dead».

The deceased, Alex F.S., 25; Borja D.V., 23; and Pau S.G., 22, were friends of the same gang and well known in the area. The news has caused a deep impact among the neighbors. An employee of the Los Abetos restaurant, next to whose parking lot the vehicle was left, summed it up with pain: «The only thing I know is that they were from here, that we knew them, we know their parents and we are all devastated».

An accident that occurred more than a year ago, in which the official car of the president of the Balearic Government, Marga Prohens, was involved, has now come to light after the filing of a complaint for alleged prevarication and influence peddling against a senior member of her team.

The accident took place shortly after the president was dropped off at Palma airport, in the spring of 2024, and involved a novice official chauffeur.

The driver, a young man who had just joined the Presidency services, lost control of the vehicle after going through a traffic circle with wet asphalt, as published this morning by Diario de Mallorca, and the car -a black Lexus- ended up severely damaged, with no other vehicles involved and no injuries.

The president was not on board at the time of the accident.

A Lexus with history

The damaged black Lexus was the same one used in the last legislature by former socialist minister Iago Negueruela, according to Diario de Mallorca.

The vehicle had been purchased in 2019 by the Department of Labor, Trade and Industry for €39,796 including taxes.

One of the Lexus cars purchased in 2019.

This mid-range car has been the subject of political controversy in other administrations. In fact, Palma City Council was criticized this year for acquiring a 61,000 euro Lexus for the mayor’s office, an operation that sparked criticism from the opposition.

The accident, a key piece in a judicial complaint

The information about the incident was not made public at the time. However, it is now mentioned in a complaint filed by a career civil servant with more than twenty years of experience as a driver in the Govern, who claims to have been displaced from his post.

In the brief filed with the Palma courts, theplaintiff points out that the president’s chauffeur was allegedly a relative of the chief of staff Alejandro Jurado and lacked experience in public administration.

The complaint emphasizes that the young driver «was involved in an accident of such magnitude that the vehicle was declared a total loss».

Thursday afternoon left one of the most painful news of the year in the region of Bortziriak. Francisca Ibarburu Lecuona, 75 years old and a resident of Lesaka, died in a multiple accident on the N-121-A, at the Endarlatsa bridge, in the municipality of Bera. Her death immediately shocked the valley due to her strong local roots: she was the owner of the Hotel Rural Bereau, a family business that has been receiving visitors for more than four decades at the entrance of the municipality.

Married -her husband was a teacher at the institute- and mother of two children, Ibarburu was considered a highly appreciated woman in the locality, symbol of a hotel project that is part of the social and tourist landscape of Lesaka. Her unexpected death has left a deep consternation among neighbors, regular customers and people linked to the sector.

A multiple accident on a particularly hard hit road

The accident was reported to the SOS Navarra 112 emergency center at 16.14 hours. According to official information, the accident took place at kilometer point 68.3 of the N-121-A (Irun-Pamplona) and was caused by a multiple collision between four vehicles, the causes of which are being investigated by the Guardia Civil.

This is a stretch of road known for its high traffic density and for the numerous accidents recorded over the last few years. Yesterday’s event puts the focus back on this road, which once again claims a life in tragic circumstances.

An extensive emergency deployment

After receiving the alert, firefighters from the Oronoz fire station, the medical team on duty, a Basic Life Support ambulance (BLS) and patrols from the Policía Foral and the Guardia Civil were mobilized to the scene. SOS Navarra, in coordination with SOS Deiak, also activated firefighters from Irun, as well as an Advanced Life Support ambulance (ALS) and a Basic Life Support ambulance.

The emergency services confirmed that the driver of one of the vehicles, a resident of Lesaka, died on the spot due to the severity of the impact. Two other people were injured and were taken to the hospitals of Irun and Donostia.

A beloved victim in Lesaka

As the identity of the deceased became known, the shock quickly spread throughout Lesaka. Francisca Ibarburu was not only the visible face of the Hotel Rural Bereau, but also a figure closely linked to the daily life of the municipality. Known for her close character and her dedication to the family business, many neighbors agree that her loss is a particularly hard blow.

The hotel that she ran with her family has been part of the town’s tourist network for about forty years. Her death puts an end to a life marked by work, commitment to her town and the affection of those who treated her.

A number that continues to grow

With this accident, there are now 39 people dead on the roads of Navarra so far this year, a figure that clearly exceeds the 24 deaths recorded in the whole of 2024. A particularly tragic year for the region in terms of road accidents, which once again raises the alarm about the need to continue promoting safety measures and actions at points of special risk.

The N-121-A, where the accident occurred, is the focus of much of the criticism and complaints from citizens, especially due to its high traffic of heavy vehicles and the characteristics of a route that has been the subject of institutional debate for years.

Ongoing research

The Guardia Civil continues to work to clarify precisely how the multiple collision between the four vehicles involved occurred. Pending technical reports and analysis of the dynamics of the impact, the authorities reiterate the importance of extreme caution in a stretch that accumulates episodes of risk.

The accident in Bera leaves not only one fatality and two injured, but also a deep sense of mourning in Lesaka, where the figure of Francisca Ibarburu will be forever associated with the memory of a profession and a life dedicated to her community.

]]>
The fatal hit-and-run accident that occurred this Monday in Seville has left behind a shocking testimony that helps to reconstruct how a driver discovered that she was carrying a corpse trapped under her vehicle after driving more than five kilometers without noticing it. The story corresponds to Manuel Barrena, concierge of the Sevilla 1 building, who heard a scream that broke the silence of the early hours of the day.

«The day was getting light, it was not yet dawn. It was raining heavily. Suddenly we heard a piercing shriek «Barrena recalled, according to Diario de Sevilla. That cry, which at first he mistook for that of a group of students, actually came from the driver of the car stopped on Avenida Ramón y Cajal, who had just discovered that she was dragging a body under her vehicle.

«It was a woman’s voice,» details the employee, who witnessed the scene from his post. «I saw that she was the driver of a car…. I had just discovered that there was a person underneath the vehicle. «.

The trajectory of the vehicle: five kilometers with a trapped body

The events began in Lumbreras Street, next to the Alameda de Hércules. There, according to the first indications, a man was walking stumbling in the middle of the roadway until he fell to the ground. At that moment, a car that had just left a garage ran over the pedestrian.

The driver, who did not see the man lying on the ground, continued on her way without noticing the tragedy that had just unfolded. The body was caught in the underbody of the vehicle, which continued to drive for miles.

Investigators are analyzing a traffic camera that would have recorded the start of the hit-and-run and the erratic behavior of the pedestrian seconds before impact.

The moment of discovery: «Oh, my God».

The witness states that the driver braked when she received signals from other drivers: «It seems that someone who was stopped at the traffic light had told her«. Upon seeing what she was dragging under her car, the woman went into shock and started screaming «oh my God» and calling for help.

Barrena recalled that the car was «with the breakdown lights stopped in the third lane, under the rain». Minutes later, firefighters and local police arrived.

«We saw a fireman bending down next to the vehicle. They tried to pull it out but it was not possible, they had to lift the car with some levers. «he says. Once freed, the corpse was placed in an ambulance.

The driver’s journey before being alerted

At the time of the accident, there were two people in the vehicle. After hitting the pedestrian without noticing him, the driver made several stops. First she went to the San Bernardo stop, where she left a relative. There, the handbrake light came on, which led her to think that it was a minor breakdown of no major importance.

She then continued to the intersection of Ramón y Cajal and San Francisco Javier avenues, where other citizens alerted her and everything was exposed.

According to Barrena, the woman was «very nervous» and the agents accompanied her to a nearby bar to calm her down.

An urgent operation in the rain

The scene generated a rapid mobilization of emergency services. Ten firefighters arrived at the scene, as well as several patrols of Mossos, Guardia Urbana and four ambulances of the Sistema d’Emergències Mèdiques.

One of the slightly injured was a man with a cut finger, discharged at the time. The other injured, a man with burns, was taken to the Vall d’Hebron hospital. ARRO agents managed to rescue him from the flames.

Investigation underway: possible clues in the remains

The Mossos d’Esquadra are investigating the origin of the fire, as there are indications that several deflagrations occurred. The agents found butane canisters and combustible material in the burnt settlement, although it is still being analyzed whether their explosion was the cause or consequence of the fire.

For its part, the Local Police of Seville keeps the investigation open to clarify the circumstances of the hit-and-run and determine whether the incident recorded by the traffic camera provides key elements.

Autopsy and vehicle analysis

The vehicle involved, a Toyota, was seized and taken to police headquarters for an exhaustive technical examination. The body was taken to the Institute of Legal Medicine of Seville, where an autopsy is expected to be performed in the coming hours.

A serious multiple accident registered this Monday on the A-6, at the height of Collado Villalba, has left 24 people injured, two of them in serious condition. The accident involved a bus with 32 passengers, a delivery truck and a van, as reported by Emergencias 112 Comunidad de Madrid. The collision, which took place around 8:30 am, caused a heavy traffic jam at rush hour.

Two seriously injured and a complex rescue

According to the data provided by 112, the two most seriously injured persons are a passenger of the bus and the driver of the truck, both trapped after the impact. Their release required the intervention of the Firefighters of the Community of Madrid, who performed extrication maneuvers and secured the area to avoid further risks.

In addition to the two seriously injured, there were four moderately injured (three bus passengers and the van driver) and 18 slightly injured, all of them adults, who were treated at the scene by Summa 112 medical staff.

The fire department sent seven crews from the Las Rozas and Villalba fire stations to the accident. In a statement recorded in the area, they explained: «At around half past eight in the morning we have been activated by a multiple scope on the P6 highway as it passes through the municipality of Collado, Villalba». They added that they intervened in an accident «involving a bus, a truck and a van with injuries of varying severity in each of them«.

The spokesman also detailed the tasks performed: «Both in the truck and in the bus different victims have been trapped and therefore we have had to carry out extrication work».

The importance of seat belts on the bus

In their message, the firefighters launched a key reminder after noting the seriousness of the trapped injured: «It is in our interest to remember and emphasize the importance of wearing seat belts when traveling by bus to avoid problems arising from possible accidents».

Although it is not mandatory in all types of public transport, officers insist that seat belts can make the difference between minor injuries and serious trauma.

Healthcare and traffic partially reopened

While the firefighters worked on the rescue, Summa 112 teams attended to the slightly and moderately injured, some of whom presented contusions and cervicalgia due to the strong impact. The most affected were taken to referral hospitals.

For their part, the Guardia Civil took control of the traffic and managed to reopen one lane after the first hour of intervention, although traffic jams continued for a good part of the morning due to the magnitude of the operation.

Investigation underway to clarify the causes

A specialized team from the Guardia Civil has already begun collecting evidence: from witness statements to a detailed analysis of the damage to the vehicles. The content of the traffic cameras is also being reviewed to reconstruct the exact sequence of the accident and to determine whether any of the vehicles underwent an abrupt maneuver or unexpected braking before the impact.

So far, no official hypotheses have been circulated about the origin of the multiple accidents, although the authorities recall that chain accidents early in the day are frequent on roads with high traffic density such as the A-6.

Cayetano Rivera ‘s name is back in the headlines after suffering a serious traffic accident in Seville. The bullfighter lost control of his van at the exit of the Real Club Sevilla Golf, in Alcalá de Guadaíra, and ended up crashing into a landscaped traffic circle full of palm trees, as reported by ABC Sevilla.

The violent impact left the van completely destroyed and caused the fall of several trees, as well as glass and remains of the vehicle scattered on the asphalt. Despite the spectacular nature of the accident, the bullfighter was not seriously injured and is in a stable condition, although he tested positive for alcohol, according to sources quoted by the same media.

An accident that could have had more serious consequences

The accident occurred around 21:00 hours on Sunday, when Cayetano Rivera was driving his van along the road that connects the golf club with his urbanization. Apparently, the bullfighter lost control of the vehicle when he reached a traffic circle, invading the landscaped space and knocking down several palm trees due to the force of the impact.

The images released by Europa Press show the magnitude of the crash: the front of the vehicle was reduced to a heap of iron, with one of the front wheels completely lifted off the ground. On the ground can be seen the remains of the windshield and the trail left by the van after the collision.

«The vehicle has been declared a total loss,» reports ABC, which also states that the authorities carried out a breathalyzer test on the bullfighter, whose result the bullfighter, the result of which would have been positive.

Cayetano, unharmed but at the center of controversy

Despite the violence of the accident, Cayetano Rivera got out of the vehicle on his own feet. According to witnesses, he did not require immediate medical assistance and walked away to his home, located just 25 meters from the scene of the accident.

Minutes later, several neighbors alerted the Guardia Civil, who went to the area and later went to the bullfighter’s home to check his condition and clarify what had happened. Sources close to the bullfighter said that Cayetano collaborated with the agents and explained that the accident was the result of a mistake at the wheel. «After getting out of the car, he stayed for a while next to his vehicle, with a jacket hanging from his arm, until the neighbors came to help him», eyewitnesses said.

The accident site, in pictures

Photographs of the scene give a good account of the force of the impact. They show how the van was left on the traffic circle, with several palm trees knocked down and the ground covered with fragments of the vehicle.

The images also show the trace of the car’s trajectory before the collision, evidencing the loss of control suffered by the driver. The landscaped area was visibly damaged, with the remains of the vehicle scattered over several meters.

The front of the car is the most affected part: the hood bent, the engine displaced and the windshield blown out. Despite this, the driver’s compartment barely shows any deformation, something that would have been key for the bullfighter to escape unharmed.

Authorities are investigating the circumstances of the accident.

The accident, which did not cause any injuries or personal damages to third parties, has been placed under investigation. The Guardia Civil de Tráfico has opened an investigation report to clarify the exact circumstances of the incident and to confirm whether, as initial reports indicate, the bullfighter had consumed alcohol before driving.

If the positive alcohol test is confirmed, Cayetano Rivera could face a financial penalty and the temporary withdrawal of his driver’s license, in addition to the possible impact on his public image.

For the moment, he has not made any public pronouncement about what happened. According to close sources, the bullfighter spent Monday afternoon at home, recovering from the scare and avoiding media appearances.

Cayetano Rivera ‘s accident continues to generate headlines. The bullfighter, 48 years old, suffered last Sunday a mishap with his vehicle in the traffic circle of access to the Real Club Sevilla Golf, located next to the urbanization in which he lives. According to the account of his lawyer, Joaquín Moeckel, the incident was caused by a simple mistake, and not by a recklessness or an escape, as has been insinuated in some media.

Rivera, who crashed his van into a palm tree, got out of the vehicle under his own power and was not seriously injured. The incident took place around eight o’clock in the evening, when Cayetano was returning home after a quiet day.

The accident, according to the lawyer’s account

Moeckel has offered his version of what happened in statements to LOC: «According to Cayetano, he was returning home shortly after eight o’clock in the evening. It’s not seven o’clock in the morning or anything like that, be very careful with that, the hours are very important».

The bullfighter was driving along the road leading to his urbanization when, according to his defense, he was distracted looking for the automatic control to open the garage fence. «At that moment, Cayetano started to look in the car for the automatic control to open the fence, and he got distracted. And when he realizes it, he is already on top of it and gets right into the traffic circle,» the lawyer explains.

The vehicle ended up crashing into a palm tree in the center of the traffic circle. Despite the impact, Cayetano got out of the car without help and remained for a few minutes next to the vehicle, with a jacket hanging from his arm, as shown in the images posted on social networks.

«There was no escape»: the version of his departure from the site

The Sevillian lawyer insists that his client did not try to flee the scene. «Obviously, that is not done by anyone who is going to flee,» he points out. «He told them that, since he lives next door, and since thank God there was no personal injury to anyone, he was going to go home, and that if the police or anyone came, to tell them where he was. A person who wants to flee, doesn’t go to his house 25 meters away,» Moeckel adds.

It was the neighbors and witnesses themselves who alerted the authorities, following the usual protocol in any traffic accident.

The controversy of the breathalyzer test

One of the most commented points after the accident has been whether Cayetano Rivera refused to take the breathalyzer test. Some sources indicated that the diestro refused to take the test, which has been denied by his lawyer.

«The only discussion here is that the police are going to defend, I imagine, that he asked for the test, and we defend that, in the case that this was the case, Cayetano was in a dazed situation, he could not understand what they were telling him,» Moeckel clarified.

The lawyer maintains that, if there was any confusion, it was due to his client’s state of shock after the impact. «What the police say is not that it is true or false. They will say what they say, but my client was in a dazed state that it was impossible for him to find out. He consciously did not refuse to take the breathalyzer test,» he adds.

«It could have been an oversight or a failure of reflexes.»

Regarding Cayetano’s initial statements, who, when he got out of the vehicle, commented that «his brakes had failed», Moeckel considers that it was a spontaneous and confused reaction after the accident. «That’s not where I come in. I think it should be a lack of attention more than anything else, and already at that point, absent-minded, I wouldn’t know which pedal I was hitting. An absent-mindedness. But yes, the brakes could have failed, or it could also be that what failed was the reflex of stepping on the brake. And there is no more story,» explains the lawyer.

The lawyer considers that the media hype is mainly due to the fame of the bullfighter: «His name is Cayetano Rivera; if his name were Joaquín Martín, nobody would have talked about this».

«There is no reason for lawsuits.»

Asked if the bullfighter will take any legal action, Moeckel is categorical: «What lawsuit am I going to file? Against the palm tree because it was there? What Cayetano has to do is to be more attentive to the cars and not to look at the controls or the cell phones».

The lawyer confirms that now a phase of judicial instruction is opened in which the facts will be investigated and it will be determined if there was any infraction or crime. «There will be an investigation and we will see what is there. This has only just begun. Now the proceedings are starting to verify the facts of the accident, the investigation to find out what happened and how the events unfolded. This has little history. And I imagine it will come to nothing,» says Moeckel.

«The police investigate, but the judges are the ones who pass sentence.»

In statements to Sonsoles Ónega’ s program on Antena 3, Moeckel wanted to emphasize that police work does not imply automatic guilt: «Fortunately, the police investigate, but they are not the ones who pass sentence. That is what magistrates and judges are for. One thing is that the police can understand that there has been disobedience and another that in the end it is true that there has been disobedience or not. The police carry out their investigations and the judges will decide,» he explained.

The lawyer insisted that Cayetano will cooperate with the authorities at all times and that he has full confidence in the judicial process.

Concern in Cayetano Rivera ‘s entourage after a new incident. The bullfighter, 47 years old, suffered this Sunday a traffic accident when he crashed the van he was driving against a palm tree, as reported by the newspaper ABC. The events occurred around 21:00 hours, at the exit of the Real Club Sevilla Golf, in Alcalá de Guadaíra (Seville), where the son of Carmina Ordóñez lost control of the vehicle.

Although Cayetano was unharmed, the accident has caused concern because of the positive result in the alcohol test, according to the same sources. The impact was of such magnitude that the bullfighter invaded a landscaped traffic circle of the exclusive club and knocked down the tree against which he crashed.

A new episode in a few months

This accident comes barely six months after another incident that also placed Cayetano Rivera at the center of controversy. Last June 30, the program Y ahora Sonsoles reported his arrest for an alleged assault on a police officer at a well-known fast food restaurant in Atocha (Madrid).

That episode took place in the middle of the night. According to witnesses quoted by the program, the bullfighter argued with several employees of the establishment, who alerted the authorities after considering that the client was not respecting the rules and maintained an aggressive attitude. When the police arrived at the establishment, Cayetano confronted one of the agents and ended up arrested for an alleged crime of resistance and disobedience to authority.

The diestro spent the night at the police station and, after his release, avoided making any public statements on the matter. The incident, however, had immediate consequences on his professional career.

Cancellations and temporary withdrawal from the arena

After his arrest, Cayetano Rivera announced that he had to cancel several bullfights scheduled in his bullfighting calendar. The suspensions affected such important places as Burgos, Santander, Ciudad Real and Malaga, arguing that he was not physically prepared to continue.

At the end of August, the bullfighter reappeared with a message on social networks that hinted at a complicated period both personally and professionally: «I am very happy to inform you that, after almost two months without being able to wear a bullfighter’s hat, this Saturday 23rd I will reappear in Tomelloso. The wait has been long, but finally I return to the ring with the illusion of always.»

His return was short-lived. Barely a month later, on September 20, Cayetano Rivera said his final farewell to the bullfighting ring. The bullfighter thus closed a period marked by personal ups and downs, injuries and media controversies.

Seville accident under investigation

The new incident in Alcalá de Guadaíra has reopened the debate about Cayetano’s personal situation. According to ABC, the vehicle Cayetano was driving invaded the garden of the traffic circle after losing control at the exit of the club. The emergency services rushed to the scene, but it was not necessary to take him to hospital, as he was not seriously injured.

The traffic officers who attended the accident performed a breathalyzer test, which gave a positive result. For the moment, no details have been released regarding the legal consequences of the incident, although the case could result in an administrative or criminal sanction, depending on the level of alcohol detected.

Concern about his state of mind

The bullfighter’s entourage, according to the specialized press, is concerned about his emotional and personal state. In recent years, Cayetano has gone through a period of intense media exposure, especially since his separation from the presenter Eva González, with whom he has a son in common.

Added to this are the physical problems derived from his bullfighting career and the public incidents that have affected his reputation. His closest environment assures that he is focused on seeking personal stability away from the spotlight, although the latest events have once again placed him at the center of the controversy.

A life marked by media pressure

Son of Carmina Ordóñez and Paquirri, and brother of Francisco Rivera, Cayetano has lived under media scrutiny since he was a child. His love life, his career in the bullring and his personal decisions have always been the subject of public attention.

Unlike his brother Francisco, who combines family life with television appearances, Cayetano has preferred to keep a more discreet profile, although his recent episodes have complicated that intention.

In recent years, he has participated in several charity projects and has maintained links with the world of fashion and advertising, collaborating with brands such as Giorgio Armani or Scalpers, trying to diversify his career beyond bullfighting.

Road safety in Ibiza is once again in the spotlight, as three of its main roads have been main roads, the EI-600, EI-700 and EI-900EI-600, EI-700 and EI-900, have registered more than 120 accidents during 2024. According to data collected by the site Informesmecanicos.es, these roads concentrate a high percentage of accidents due to their high traffic density, dangerous curves and, in some sections, lack of maintenance.

Critical areas and risk factors

The EI-600, which connects Santa Eulària with Sant Carles, leads the list with 40% of the registered accidents. This stretch, characterized by its narrowness and sharp curves, is especially conflictive during the high season, when the flow of tourists and vehicles increases exponentially. The EI-700, known as the Sant Josep road, is in second place. The lack of lighting in some sections and speeding contribute to frequent incidents on this road that crosses rural and tourist areas. Finally, the EI-900, which links Ibiza with Sant Antoni, has been singled out by experts as a «black spot» due to heavy traffic, especially at night, and the risks associated with alcohol and drug consumption in the area.

Factors

Road safety experts attribute this increase to several factors, including the increase in vehicles during the high season, distracted driving, and speeding on poorly marked stretches of road. Although no official figures of injuries or fatalities have been reported, the incidence of accidents has put the local community on alert. The island authorities, in collaboration with transport associations, have insisted on the importance of respecting speed limits, avoiding distractions and, above all, reinforcing road safety education. However, it is expected that the official year-end figures will prompt additional measures to address this problem. Road accidents remain one of the most urgent challenges for Ibiza’s road network, especially in a context where safety must go hand in hand with the constant increase in traffic on the island.
