Santa Cruz de Tenerife: Fatal multi-vehicle crash on TF-5 highway
A fatal multi-vehicle accident occurred on the TF-5 highway near Somosierra, heading toward Santa Cruz de Tenerife. A heavy truck overturned and collided with a taxi and another passenger vehicle, subsequently striking the barriers separating the TF-5 and TF-1 highways.
Authorities confirmed one fatality resulting from the crash. Two other individuals were injured; one 42-year-old male sustained serious injuries and was transported to the Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria, while a 58-year-old individual was treated for moderate trauma at the Hospital Universitario de Canarias. Emergency responders, including the Tenerife Fire Consortium and the Canary Islands Emergency and Security Coordination Center (CECOES), managed the scene, which caused significant traffic congestion and required the closure of lanes in the direction of Santa Cruz.
