Incident on Las Américas Highway: Tree falls on several vehicles and leaves people injured
A serious accident was reported this Saturday on the Las Américas Highway, specifically near the Doña Pula sector, when a large tree collapsed onto the road in the west-east direction, striking several vehicles that were traveling through the area at the time.
As a result of the unexpected collapse, at least four people were injured. Rescue teams and emergency units arrived immediately at the scene to provide the necessary medical attention to those affected and to proceed with rescue efforts and the removal of debris.

The incident caused a total obstruction of vehicular flow in the affected section. To mitigate the impact on citizens’ mobility, the competent authorities implemented a traffic detour through the marginal road, thus allowing the flow of drivers to continue while cleanup work is carried out on the main road.
Authorities are continuing assistance and tree removal efforts to restore normal traffic flow on Las Américas Highway.
