A bus carrying 52 passengers overturned on the C-32 motorway in a tunnel between Pineda de Mar and Tordera, Spain, resulting in five injuries, including the driver, who was trapped. The accident halted northbound traffic, and the road may remain closed until Wednesday.

The bus, operated by Monbus and transporting workers to Inditex logistics centers in Tordera and Palafolls, was quickly evacuated. Three passengers, in more serious conditions, were airlifted to hospitals.
