Drivers suffer punctures after sharp objects are deliberately placed on motorway in Gran Canaria

Several vehicles suffered punctures after sharp objects were deliberately left on the GC-1 motorway in southern Gran Canaria.

The incidents began at around 6:00am yesterday (Wednesday), on the stretch between Vecindario and Playa del Inglés, a main route towards the island’s southern resorts.

The objects were found in the right-hand lane of the southbound carriageway. The Guardia Civil has not confirmed how many vehicles were affected, but said no accidents had been reported as a result.

Officers said it was not known who put the objects on the road or whether the incident was connected to the general strike taking place that day.
