The Special Easter Traffic Operation in the province of Granada concluded with a total of 12 accidents involving victims and three seriously injured individuals, though no fatalities were reported, according to the Government Subdelegation.

The special operation, active from Good Friday until midnight last Monday, managed over 400,000 movements on Granada's roads. Despite high mobility, accident figures show a significant improvement compared to the previous year.
According to the Government Subdelegation's report, in 2025 there were 12 accidents with victims, resulting in three people hospitalized with serious injuries and 17 minor injuries. These figures represent a 53.8% reduction in the number of accidents with victims compared to the previous campaign, which recorded 26 incidents, four hospitalizations, and 34 minor injuries.

"This result reflects the joint effort of drivers and the services involved in the operation, although any accident is preventable and should continue to be reduced."
