Three-Car Crash Causes Major Delays on Tenerife’s TF-5 Motorway

A three-car collision on Tenerife’s TF-5 motorway near the airport junction caused significant rush-hour delays this morning as authorities continue to monitor the island's strained traffic infrastructure.

Traffic on Tenerife’s TF-5 motorway was severely disrupted this morning following a three-car collision. Civil Guard officers were called to the scene to manage the resulting congestion.

The accident occurred near the junction for Tenerife North-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport, heading toward the capital. This stretch of road is a known bottleneck; because it handles such high volumes of traffic during rush hour, even minor incidents cause significant delays across the region.

While emergency crews worked to clear the area and keep traffic moving, there has been no official update on the condition of those involved. The frequency of these rear-end collisions highlights the strain on the TF-5, which is currently carrying far more traffic than it was designed to handle. Authorities are once again urging drivers to maintain a safe distance and stay alert to help prevent accidents on one of the island’s busiest roads.
