14 September 2026 at 08:44

> Five people were detained and two hospitalised after a drug boat collided with a Civil Guard patrol vessel off the coast of Almeria.

Five people have been arrested following a collision between a drug boat and a **Civil Guard** patrol vessel off the coast of **Adra**, Almeria. The incident occurred on Sunday morning, 13 September 2026, with two individuals taken to Hospital Universitario de Poniente.

One suspect remains in intensive care following the crash, which has been confirmed by the Almeria Civil Guard Command. The collision took place at the same location where a Customs Surveillance Service member previously died during a similar maritime operation.

Spokesperson Victor Vega Romero warned of escalating violence from international mafias, calling for Almeria to be named a Zone of Special Singularity. The clash follows a recent incident in Murcia where another Civil Guard officer was seriously injured.
