Traffic on Tenerife’s TF-1 motorway was severely disrupted on Wednesday after a heavy goods vehicle overturned near Güímar.

Traffic on Tenerife’s main southeastern motorway was severely disrupted this Wednesday following a road accident. Emergency services reported that a heavy goods vehicle overturned on the TF-1, specifically on the stretch passing through Güímar while heading toward the island's capital.

Accidents involving large vehicles on the busy TF-1 often cause significant delays, as clearing the wreckage is a complex process that takes much longer than the initial emergency response.

Authorities are urging drivers to exercise caution in the area. They advise motorists to adjust their driving to the current conditions, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, and follow all instructions from the emergency teams and traffic officers on-site. Traffic is expected to return to normal once the vehicle has been cleared from the road.
