Tragedy in the Canary Islands: a bus with tourists fell into a ravine, there are victims and many injured
A tragic incident has occurred in the Canary Islands involving a tourist bus carrying British tourists, which went off the road, killing one person and injuring many others. The incident has become part of a global road safety issue.
The accident occurred on the Spanish island of La Gomera, where a bus carrying 27 British tourists and the driver fell into a ravine off the GM-2 mountain road.
A 77-year-old British man died in the accident and 27 others were injured, three of whom are in critical condition. The victims were evacuated by helicopter and emergency services. The tourists were on their way to the airport when the tragedy occurred.
The holiday was organised by the tour operator Holiday Property Bond, and the UK Foreign Office said it was ready to provide all possible support to the victims. The Spanish police have launched an investigation into the causes of the accident. It is worth noting that a similar accident with victims already occurred on this road last year.
Similar incidents have occurred in other countries. For example, in the state of Tennessee (USA), a school bus was involved in an accident, as a result of which two students died and several more people were injured. The bus, a passenger car and a company dump truck collided.
An accident also occurred in Kyiv: a minibus crashed into a bus near a public transport stop, doctors examined the passengers, but there was no information about the dead.
These tragedies once again emphasize the importance of improving road safety, especially in the field of passenger transportation.
In addition, a serious accident occurred in Bangladesh, when a bus with about 50 passengers drove into the Padma River. As a result, dozens of people died, and rescuers worked continuously all night to find the bodies of the deceased.
