Initial investigations suggest the Lamborghini potentially experienced a tire explosion during an overtaking maneuver, causing the vehicle to veer off the roadway. Witnesses reported the car catching fire, which quickly spread to surrounding vegetation.
This notorious highway section is considered one of Spain’s most dangerous road segments, frequently experiencing accidents due to wild animals like wolves and deer crossing unexpectedly.
