Matador Cayetano Rivera was involved in a traffic incident last week, colliding with a palm tree and subsequently refusing a breathalyzer test, according to reports. The incident has become a major topic of discussion in Spanish media.
Rivera was driving a van toward his residence when he reportedly lost control at a roundabout, resulting in a significant impact. “He really slammed into it,” said a commentator on a recent broadcast.
However, instead of cooperating with authorities, Rivera left the scene and declined to take a breathalyzer test, which constitutes disobedience under Spanish law, according to reports. This comes as Rivera is currently awaiting a decision in a separate legal case stemming from an altercation with McDonald’s employees.
The situation is further complicated by Rivera’s account, where he claims to have no recollection of whether he refused the test due to being disoriented from the crash. “When you’re in a traffic accident, that’s the first thing they do – that test,” a commentator noted. “And if you refuse, it’s automatically assumed.”

“He Should Just Hand Over the Keys”
Commentators have suggested the incident may be part of a larger pattern. “He attributes all of this to a persecution against him,” one commentator stated. “He says he wants to live a peaceful life, that they won’t let him, but honestly, I’d take away his car keys, at least.”
The discussion also touched on Rivera’s personal life, noting his recent departure from bullfighting and his breakup with Eva González. “Women are important, because when they leave their husbands, they kind of lose it,” a commentator remarked. “He was doing well with Eva.”
The suggestion was made that Rivera refocus his energies. “He should go back to bullfighting,” one commentator said, to which another responded, “He’s past that age.” Ultimately, the consensus seemed to be that staying off the road would be a wise decision. This incident adds another layer to the public scrutiny faced by high-profile figures in Spain.
