A holiday in the sun turned to tragedy for a British family as a 69-year-old grandmother from Greater Manchester was killed in a horrific quad bike accident on the Spanish island of Tenerife.
The devastating incident occurred on a public road near the popular tourist area of Playa de Las Américas. Local emergency services, including a team of medics and a doctor, rushed to the scene but were unable to save her life.
The woman was reportedly riding a powerful 500cc Can-Am quad bike when she suffered a catastrophic loss of control. Initial reports from the Spanish press suggest the vehicle veered off the road and collided with a wall, resulting in fatal injuries.
Despite the rapid response from emergency crews, the pensioner was tragically pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. The Guardia Civil has now launched a full investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash.
This heartbreaking event serves as a sobering reminder of the potential dangers associated with recreational vehicle use on holiday. The local authorities are working to provide support to the woman's grieving family during this unimaginably difficult time.
