In Pamplona A 46-year-old woman was injured in a traffic accident in Pamplona on Tuesday, 15 September 2026. According to SOS Navarra the car left the road on Calle Abejeras and plunged from a height of around four to five metres. The accident occurred near the road connecting to the neighbourhood of Iturrama.

According to consistent local reports, she was the vehicle’s only occupant. Emergency services treated the woman at the scene and arranged for her to be taken to the Hospital Universitario de Navarra. No detailed information on the type or severity of her injuries was available in the afternoon.

The Policía Municipal de Pamplona cordoned off the area and began an initial investigation into why the car left the road. It was initially unclear whether excessive speed, a technical fault or driver distraction had played a part. A roadside barrier near the accident site was visibly damaged; after the fall, the vehicle came to a stop off the road.

Calle Abejeras connects the Iturrama district with neighbouring areas and is heavily trafficked at peak times. Following the incident, traffic was temporarily restricted until the recovery and safety work had been completed.
