A 4-year-old boy has been hospitalised after suffering a head injury from being run over by a car in the south of Tenerife yesterday afternoon (Monday), as reported by the Canary Islands Emergency Services Coordination Centre (CECOES).
The incident happened on Calle Núñez de Balboa in Alcalá and CECOES immediately dispatched the relevant emergency services to the location given, after receiving an alert for help.
