Two individuals sustained injuries this Friday following the crash of a two-seater paraglider at the base of the Barranco de la Vera, Las Cañadas del Teide, in La Orotava (Tenerife), as communicated by the Emergency and Security Coordinating Centre (CECOES) 1-1-2.
The incident took place at approximately 1:24 p.m., when the 1-1-2 control room received an alert regarding the occurrence, prompting CECOES to promptly engage the necessary emergency resources to respond to the scene.
