A worker was injured on Monday afternoon, 24 August 2026, at a construction site on the Autovía A-11 in the municipal area of Langa de Duero (province of Soria) and taken by air ambulance to Hospital Universitario de Burgos . According to the Subdelegación del Gobierno en Soria the man suffered concussion; emergency services describe his prognosis as uncertain.
The Guardia Civil received the emergency call in the afternoon and sent two patrols to the scene. The 112 emergency service and air ambulance were also involved. The injured worker was stabilised at the scene and then flown to the hospital in Burgos. The authorities initially gave no further details about his age, his role or the company involved.
It has been officially confirmed that this was a workplace accident at the A-11 construction site in the section near Langa de Duero. The circumstances of the incident remain unclear. Neither the Subdelegación del Gobierno en Soria, the Guardia Civil nor the Hospital Universitario de Burgos has released further information about the cause of the accident. No statement from the employer was available late in the evening.
The A-11 is a major transport project in Castilla y León. Sections between the provinces of Soria and Burgos have been planned, built or upgraded for years to improve the route towards the Duero valley. The area affected near Langa de Duero is one of the stretches where work is regularly under way; traffic restrictions in the immediate vicinity of the construction site are not unusual there. There is currently no indication that the accident caused major traffic disruption beyond the construction site.
This account of events is based on statements from the Subdelegación del Gobierno en Soria and corroborating reports by local and regional media. The situation can be assessed more precisely once the authorities release further details about what happened or the man’s condition. Until then, the facts are these: a worker was injured at the A-11 construction site near Langa de Duero, the Guardia Civil and emergency service 112 attended the scene, and the man is being treated at the Hospital Universitario de Burgos after being airlifted there.
