Briefing
A motorcyclist was injured in a road accident on Asturias regional road 238 on Monday 28 September 2026. According to the Guardia Civil the rider of a BMW GS 1200 collided with a vehicle at around 16:30 at kilometre 9 in San Martín de Podes (municipality of Gozón) Mercedes. The motorcyclist sustained injuries that were assessed at the scene; details of their precise severity and further treatment were not initially reported.
The Guardia Civil and two ambulances attended the scene, Europa Press news agency reported. Emergency services and responders secured the site and began providing care to the injured person. Early reports did not say whether the motorcyclist was subsequently taken to hospital; a medical assessment was still pending at the time of reporting.
The investigation into the accident is being handled by the relevant traffic division of the Guardia Civil. It typically records evidence, interviews those involved and any potential witnesses, and draws up an initial sketch to reconstruct the course of events. The available reports gave no cause for the collision, such as driver error, technical failure or external factors. Nor did they say whether traffic on the AS-238route was closed or diverted as a result of the accident.
San Martín de Podes is a locality in the coastal municipality of Gozón in the autonomous community of Asturias. The road in question serves regional traffic between localities and has limited carriageway width in some sections, a factor that often leads to injuries to motorcyclists in collisions with cars. The information currently available does not support any firm conclusions about the cause of this particular accident. Confirmed investigation findings or further information about the injured person are expected to be published by the authorities only after their review is complete.
