Siete individuals from the audience sustained injuries of varying degrees after a vehicle taking part in the XIV Rally Villa de Fitero in Navarra veered off the course and struck spectators. The race has been suspended following the incident. The immediate response was coordinated by emergency services to secure the scene, assist the injured, and ensure as much safety as possible for everyone nearby while authorities evaluate the circumstances surrounding the crash.
Officials from the regional police force and SOS Navarra reported that the multi-vehicle incident occurred around 14:32 hours at kilometer 19.5 of the NA-6900 road, at the junction with the NA-6941. One of the rally vehicles left the roadway at this point, causing a collision with people present along the roadside or nearby viewing areas. Members of the public were affected as the vehicle disrupted the crowd as it left the route. The event organizers declared the rally halted to allow medical teams to reach the injured and to begin assessments on-site.
Seven people were transported to Reina Sofía Hospital in Tudela. Among them was a 60-year-old man who suffered multiple traumas and is described as having a guarded prognosis. He was transported by an advanced life support ambulance. A four-year-old child with similar trauma injuries was also moved to the hospital in a critical condition. Medical teams prioritized rapid airway management, stabilization, and continuous monitoring during transit while ensuring that the child received trauma care appropriate for pediatric patients.
Additionally, all patients are reported to be in a guarded condition upon arrival at the hospital. The medical team also treated a 40-year-old woman with multiple contusions, a 39-year-old man with multiple traumas, an eight-year-old child with multiple contusions, and a six-year-old child with contusions. Information about the seventh injured person has not yet been released. The hospital staff prepared for continued multi-disciplinary care, including trauma surgeons, pediatric specialists, and critical care personnel to manage evolving clinical needs as more details become available.
In the wake of the incident, SOS Navarra’s emergency management center mobilized a comprehensive response at the accident site. Firefighters from Tudela, the zone’s duty medical team, two advanced life support ambulances, three basic life support ambulances, and patrols from the regional police all converged on the location. The coordinated effort aimed to stabilize patients, transport those in most critical condition, and maintain order and safety around the rally zone while the investigation proceeds.
Two additional ambulances—one advanced life support and one basic life support—were also deployed as part of the event’s preventive medical dispositif and joined the rapid transport chain to ensure no delay in care for injured spectators. Tudela Traffic Police units managed the on-scene response and began the initial incident documentation. A dedicated traffic team from the same police department started the formal procedures to establish what occurred, preserve evidence, and support ongoing inquiries by the Atestados division. The aim throughout has been to balance urgent medical needs with a thorough, lawful inquiry into the factors that led to the accident and how best to prevent a repetition in future events.
