Four people were injured in a traffic accident in Motril (province of Granada) on the evening of 25 October 2026, including two minors. According to the emergency call service, 112 Andalucía emergency services were alerted at around 20:50. The accident took place on Calle Ancha, where a motorcycle collided with a woman and her two children on the pavement. The injured people—the mother, both children and the motorcyclist—were taken to hospital for medical treatment. Media reports say the children are in a stable condition; no further details about the nature or severity of the injuries are currently available.
112 Andalucía coordinated the response by emergency services and security forces. According to the official statement, the Policía Local and the Guardia Civil were at the scene and began preliminary investigations into what happened. According to witness accounts, the family was walking on the pavement at the time of the collision. Whether excessive speed, a technical fault, inattention or other misconduct was to blame is the subject of the ongoing investigation. The Junta de Andalucía confirmed the time and place of the alert and the number of people involved.
Police documented evidence at the scene and interviewed those present. Emergency services took all four injured people to nearby hospitals; the official brief did not name the destination. Further information from the health authorities—such as whether surgery was required or the expected recovery time—is still pending. Whether criminal or administrative proceedings will be initiated will also be decided once the investigation is complete.
Accidents involving two-wheeled vehicles are considered a particular road-safety challenge in many Andalusian towns and cities. Municipal plans in Motril identify bottlenecks and junctions that require particular care. However, the information available so far does not support any firm conclusion about whether infrastructure factors played a role on Calle Ancha. The relevant authorities generally urge people not to speculate until technical reports and analyses of witness statements and any video footage are available.
Further details on injuries, responsibility and possible preventive measures are expected once the police and health authorities release more information. According to the authorities, the response was coordinated through 112 Andalucía; in addition to the local police and the Guardia Civil, it involved emergency medical personnel, including the nationwide emergency service Centro de Emergencias Sanitarias 061.
