The individual who was seriously injured, suffering from multiple traumas, was airlifted by medical helicopter to the Nuestra Señora de Candelaria University Hospital. Meanwhile, the other rider, who had moderate injuries, received assistance from Red Cross teams and was transported by a basic life support ambulance to the same healthcare facility.
The incident occurred shortly after 12:30 am, at which point 112 received an alert regarding the collision of the two motorcycles on the aforementioned route.
