A multiple vehicle accident occurred this Friday afternoon at the entrance to San Fernando de Maspalomas, leaving several people injured and at least five vehicles involved. The accident occurred around 15:00 p.m. on the access road from the GC-1 motorway to the tourist center in southern Gran Canaria, forcing the temporary closure of the exit and causing significant traffic jams.

 

According to initial reports, the accident occurred when a white Opel vehicle traveling outbound crossed into the oncoming lane, colliding head-on with a BMW traveling toward San Fernando from the GC-1. The impact also affected at least three other vehicles, which were blocked in the middle of the road.

 

 

 

Emergency services responded quickly to the scene. The Civil Guard Traffic Department coordinated traffic control and opened an investigation to determine the cause of the accident. The Canary Islands Emergency Service (SUC) transported several injured people to nearby medical centers. Staff from the Maspalomas Health Center also collaborated to reinforce the care in the area. For several hours, the exit from the GC-1 to San Fernando remained closed, with traffic diversions in place until the damaged vehicles were removed and the road cleared.

 

 

Local authorities have announced that more information will be provided as the investigation progresses.
