This morning, an accident in the Padre Anchieta tunnel caused a kilometer-long traffic jam on the TF-5 North Highway towards the north, reaching Tacoronte.

This morning, September 19, drivers on the Northern Highway (TF-5) are not to be envied. An accident in the Padre Anchieta tunnel near La Laguna has caused a massive traffic jam heading north.

It is said that two cars collided there, and one of them is stuck in the left lane.

The accident happened around 10 a.m., but is still being felt. Already by lunchtime, the traffic jam had stretched all the way to Tacoronte, and many drivers are stuck in traffic during rush hour.

The TF-5 is one of the busiest highways, so any accident there immediately leads to kilometers-long traffic jams. This affects everyone traveling both towards the capital and to the north of the island.
