The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested two men for throwing stones at vehicles on the A 2 near Corbins, in the Segrià region. The events occurred this Sunday around 07:15 AM at kilometer 465 of the highway.
Escape on scooter on the highway
After locating the alleged perpetrators, the agents verified that they were trying to escape on an electric scooter and that they were doing so driving in the wrong direction on the A 2. During the intervention, the two men tried to jump the median and struggled with the mossos to avoid being arrested.
The operation ended with the arrest of both suspects, who are accused of a crime of assault against law enforcement officers. They are also being investigated for a crime against road safety for reckless driving and for seriously endangering traffic.
Alcohol and drugs above the criminal limit
The tests performed after the arrest yielded results of 0.92 mg/l and 0.78 mg/l in alcohol, both above the criminal limit. In addition, the two detainees tested positive in drug tests.
The intervention occurred on a stretch of the A 2 within the municipal district of Corbins, where the throwing of stones and the subsequent flight generated a risk situation for the drivers who were circulating on the highway early in the morning.
