The GC-3 highway, known as the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Ring Road, was the scene of a significant accident this Saturday around 10:00 AM. A truck breakdown in the middle lane, at the entrance to the road from Arucas, led to a chain collision involving at least four vehicles.

According to information provided by the Emergency and Security Coordination Center (Cecoes) 112 of the Government of the Canary Islands, the first car behind the truck collided with the rear of the heavy vehicle. Subsequently, two other cars crashed into the vehicles ahead.

As a result of the incident, two individuals, a 45-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman, sustained minor injuries. They were attended by the Canary Islands Emergency Medical Service (SUC) and transported by a basic life support ambulance to the Clínica San Roque in the capital of Gran Canaria.

Firefighters from the Consortium of Emergencies of Gran Canaria, a medicalized ambulance from the SUC, and personnel from the Road Service of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria also responded to the scene to manage the situation and restore normal traffic flow.
