The accident happened on Avenida de Italia.
The Servicio de Urgencias Canario (SUC) dispatched an ambulance equipped for intensive care and a basic life support vehicle, according to the authorities. Medical staff at the scene assessed the man’s condition and, due to his severe injuries, pronounced him dead at the scene.
Officers from the Policía Local and the Policía Nacional secured the accident scene and took the usual measures. These included cordons, initial enquiries and documenting the incident. The authorities did not say whether other vehicles or people were involved, or whether alcohol, speed or other factors played a role.
The official statement from the Gobierno de Canarias describes the documented sequence of events: the emergency call was received by CECOES 112, the SUC dispatched emergency resources, the police took action and the 25-year-old man was pronounced dead. No further details about how the incident happened or any possible witnesses are currently available.
The police authorities are investigating the cause and responsibility. They usually examine physical evidence, interview those present and review any available footage.
