Woman Hospitalized After Being Struck by Car on Tenerife Promenade
A 53-year-old woman was hospitalized with moderate injuries after being struck by a car on the Las Caletillas seafront promenade in Candelaria, Tenerife, this morning.
Road safety in coastal shared transit zones is under scrutiny again after an accident in Candelaria, Tenerife, this morning. According to the Canary Islands' emergency coordination center (CECOES 112), a 53-year-old woman was hospitalized after being hit by a car on the Las Caletillas seafront promenade.
Emergency services were alerted shortly before 7:00 a.m., and the Canary Islands Emergency Service (SUC) arrived on the scene. After an initial assessment, the woman was taken to San Juan de Dios Hospital with moderate injuries. This incident highlights the ongoing risks for pedestrians in areas where cars and people share the same space—a challenge local authorities are trying to address through better traffic management and signage.
Local police were on-site to manage the scene and begin an investigation. Their report will help determine exactly how the collision occurred and whether any charges will be filed, as this incident adds to the growing number of accidents on the region's coastal roads.
