Car Plows Into Crowd, 17 Injured Ahead of Espanyol-Barça Match

A 34-year-old woman driving a car collided with a group of Espanyol fans gathered outside the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona on Thursday just before the La Liga derby match.
The accident occurred amid heightened tensions between Espanyol and Barcelona fans, with authorities attributing the incident to the driver losing control of the vehicle.
At least 17 people suffered injuries, including four hospitalized individuals and one 41-year-old man in critical condition, while police detained the driver at the scene.
Eduard Sallent, Catalonia's police head, said the driver may have panicked feeling trapped by the crowd, and an alcohol test ruled out intentional hostility.
Authorities declared the situation under control, emphasized safety during intense sporting events, and the Espanyol-Barcelona match proceeded as scheduled despite the disruption.
