Deadly waves strike Tenerife as four lose lives in coastal tragedies
A tragic incident occurred at Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, where a massive wave swept ten people into the sea. Regrettably, one woman lost her life, and three others sustained serious injuries. The incident is among several fatal accidents caused by heavy surf on the island, with a total of three people losing their lives.
The woman who died at Puerto de la Cruz was pronounced dead after suffering cardiac arrest. Despite immediate resuscitation attempts, she could not be saved. In the south, a man was found dead at El Cabezo beach, while another man met the same fate in La Guancha in the north. In La Guancha, a man was airlifted from the sea but later declared dead. Tragically, a man rescued from the water in El Cabezo also succumbed to his injuries.
The incidents highlight the dangerous conditions caused by heavy surf on Tenerife. Authorities urge caution near coastal areas during such weather. The identities of the victims and further details are yet to be released.
