During the night of last Saturday, March 16, an extraordinary event occurred in the town of Valls, Tarragona, which has left more than one person surprised. A driver, apparently disoriented or confused, drove his vehicle down the stairs of the municipality’s Plaza dels Quarters, creating an unusual situation that has captured the attention of public opinion.
The images, spread through social networks and viralized in a matter of hours, show the moment in which the car performs the unusual maneuver, defying traffic regulations and creating a potential danger in an urban area.
Eyewitnesses watched in disbelief as the vehicle traveled down the stairs, causing obvious damage to the lower part of it.
The Valls Local Police have initiated an investigation to clarify the circumstances surrounding this incident. According to the first hypotheses, the possibility is being considered that the driver followed the wrong directions of a GPS navigation system, which would have contributed to the unfortunate detour down the stairs. Likewise, the possibility of negligence on the part of the driver in handling the vehicle is being considered.
After descending the stairs, the car changed its course towards Avenir Street and drove away from the place as if nothing had happened, leaving in its wake confusion and astonishment among those present. However, the images captured show the damage suffered by the bottom of the car as a result of the unusual maneuver.
This incident has generated debate in the Vallense community, as well as a call for reflection on the importance of prudence and attention behind the wheel. Circulation through pedestrian areas and stairs is strictly prohibited for safety reasons, and this event exemplifies the risks associated with non-compliance with these regulations.
