Three injured in collision between two cars on the TF-1 in Las Chafiras

Three people suffered injuries of varying severity in a collision involving two cars on the Las Chafiras stretch of the TF-1 motorway in the south of Tenerife last night (Thursday), as reported by the Emergency Services Coordination Centre (CECOES).

CECOES received an alert at 11:10pm requesting urgent assistance and dispatched the necessary emergency resources including the fire brigade, medical personnel, and the Guardia Civil.

Upon arrival at the scene of the accident, paramedics treated a 73-year-old man who had suffered multiple moderate injuries, and was subsequently transported by ambulance to the Hospital del Sur for further treatment.

Additionally, two other men, aged 58 and 21, were treated for minor injuries. They were taken via ambulance to the Quirón Costa Adeje Hospital. A fourth person involved in the accident declined going a medical facility.

In the meantime, the fire brigade made sure the cars were stable and safe then helped personnel from the Roads Maintenance Service to cordon off the area and start to clear debris from the motorway, while the Guardia Civil coordinated traffic.

An investigation has been opened to determine the cause of the accident.
