DRIVING SCHOOL OWNER, 68, DIES AFTER BEING STRUCK BY A MOTORBIKE RIDEN BY ANOTHER INSTRUCTOR IN SPAIN

A 68-year-old driving school owner known as Diego has died after being struck by a motorbike near Barcelona, Spain, in a tragic collision that has shocked the local driving community. Diego, who owned the driving school Autoescola Gatassa, was reportedly walking toward a car park on October 14 to begin a driving lesson when the incident occurred. The motorbike was ridden by another driving instructor who was arriving at a private driving test track.

According to reports, the rider had been returning from a lesson on public roads when he struck Diego near the test-track facility. Emergency responders were called to the scene, and Diego was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Despite receiving medical treatment, he remained in critical condition and died the following day. The sudden loss has left colleagues and members of the local community mourning a man who had spent years working in driver education.

Police have launched an investigation to establish exactly how the collision happened. Investigators are reportedly examining several possible factors, including whether a mechanical problem with the motorcycle or limited visibility may have contributed to the crash. Authorities are treating the incident as a suspected freak accident while they work to determine the circumstances. No further conclusions about responsibility should be drawn until the investigation has established the facts.

Tributes to Diego have appeared throughout the local driving community, with several driving school vehicles displaying black ribbons in his memory. His death is a painful reminder that serious accidents can happen even in places associated with routine lessons and professional training. As colleagues remember Diego and the work he devoted to his driving school, investigators continue their efforts to clarify the events that led to the fatal collision.
