Traffic Delays on Tenerife’s TF-5 Following Crash in Santa Úrsula

Traffic on the TF-5 slowed significantly this afternoon following a crash in Santa Úrsula. According to the 112 Canary Islands emergency service, a car veered off the road near La Quinta shortly before 4:00 p.m. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

Incidents like this on Tenerife’s main northern highway highlight the strain on an infrastructure already struggling with traffic levels well above the national average. The Civil Guard managed traffic flow while maintenance crews cleared the road to restore normal conditions.

The driver was assessed by medical personnel at the scene but did not require hospital treatment. As this was a single-vehicle accident, it has renewed calls for better safety measures on the highway’s most dangerous stretches—a road that frequently suffers from heavy congestion whenever traffic is disrupted.
