Man killed crossing the TF-1 motorway in the south of Tenerife

The Emergency Services Coordination Centre (CECOES) have reported that a man was killed last night (Friday) after being run over on the TF-1 motorway by Las Chafiras in the south of Tenerife.

They received a call at 10:27pm informing them that a person had been run over whilst trying to cross the motorway on foot, and was seriously injured.

CECOES immediately dispatched the necessary emergency resources to the scene of the accident, where the Guardia Civil regulated the traffic and paramedics treated the injured man.

Unfortunately, they were unable to save him, and could only confirm his death due to the seriousness of his injuries. No one else was badly hurt although the driver received treatment for shock from the accident.

CECOES have confirmed that the man’s body has been taken for formal identification and an autopsy.
