A Pardilla bus broke down on Friday afternoon in the Piedra Santa tunnel, causing kilometer-long traffic jams on the exit from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria towards the south.

The incident, which occurred at the tunnel entrance, led to the closure of two lanes, significantly complicating traffic during peak hours as many workers were leaving.
By 4:40 PM, a crane was on site to remove the broken-down vehicle, but traffic jams had already reached the Hospital Insular area.
