The 55-year-old woman had been reported missing on February 29 in Saint-Laurent-du-Pont, France. The next day, March 1, a Mossos d'Esquadra patrol located her at the exit of the AP-7 in Altafulla, completely disoriented.

The woman did not know how to tell them who she was or how she had gotten there. She was transferred to the Santa Tecla Hospital in Tarragona, where she was admitted for medical reasons.
