One arrested, two traffic accidents during Ibiza ‘openings’ weekend

Officers reported several drivers for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs during the special law enforcement operation for the disco opening weekend

During Ibiza’s disco opening weekend, a significant law enforcement presence, including Civil Guard, National Police, and Local Police, monitored the nightlife scene. The operation led to one arrest, two traffic accidents, and more than a dozen citations for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. Notably, a 28-year-old British man was severely injured and admitted to the ICU after being hit by a truck. Despite the festivities drawing approximately 27,000 visitors and the opening events at major clubs like Pacha Ibiza and Hï Ibiza being sold out, the police efforts focused on maintaining public safety through checkpoints. The crackdown resulted in six drivers sanctioned at Pacha’s season start—three for exceeding alcohol limits and three for drug impairment.
