The SUC staff and the Primary Care doctor and nurse assisted all the injured and transferred them in the corresponding ambulances to the Canary Islands University Hospital, the Ntra. Sra. de Candelaria University Hospital and the North Hospital.
The injured were a 50-year-old woman, who presented serious chest trauma at the initial moment of care; a 28-year-old man, who suffered a serious spinal injury; a male of unknown age, who presented moderate trauma to the knee and neck pain, and another male, also of unknown age, who suffered a moderate ankle and wrist fracture.
