Six Injured in Yaiza Collision
Six people have been injured, two of them seriously, in a head-on collision between a truck and several cars in the municipality of Yaiza on Lanzarote. The injured parties are two women, aged 72 and 70, who at the time of assistance were suffering from serious multiple trauma with a grave prognosis; two men, aged 78 and 72, with moderate trauma; and two women, aged 58 and 30, with the same medical assessment.
Emergency Response Activated
The incident occurred at around 16:13 on Thursday on the LZ-2 road, at which point the Canary Islands Government’s Coordination Centre for Emergencies and Security (Cecoes) 112 received the alert. All necessary emergency resources were immediately activated: two advanced life support ambulances and three basic life support ambulances from the Canary Islands Emergency Service (SUC); units from the Lanzarote Fire Consortium and officers from the Guardia Civil.
Rescue and Hospital Transfer
Upon arrival at the scene, firefighters had to free one person from the wreckage and make the area safe. SUC personnel treated the casualties, stabilising the two seriously injured victims. All six were then transferred by ambulance to the Doctor José Molina Orosa Hospital. Meanwhile, Guardia Civil officers managed traffic flow and began their official investigation into the crash.
