At the Avenida Marítima in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria a car and a motorbike collided on 7 October 2026 at around 20:08. According to the Centro Coordinador de Emergencias y Seguridad 112 of the Gobierno de Canarias two people were injured and taken to hospital. The accident happened near Parque Romano.
After receiving the emergency call, the Centro Coordinador de Emergencias y Seguridad assessed the information and forwarded it to the relevant services. In the medical sector, the coordinator of the Servicio de Urgencias Canario decided which resources to deploy: an Ambulancia medicalizada for emergency medical care and an Ambulancia de soporte vital básico for basic life support were activated by the SUC’s Gestor de recursos and sent to the scene. These procedures form part of the standard dispatch process used by the Canary Islands’ control centre, which allocates resources according to the reported injuries and level of priority.
At the scene, medical staff treated a 39-year-old man for multiple injuries. He was taken with injuries of moderate severity to the Hospital Universitario de Gran Canaria Doctor Negrín A 16-year-old sustained minor cuts and lacerations and was taken to the Hospital Universitario Vithas Santa Catalina where he was taken. These classifications describe the person’s initial condition at the time of first aid and may change after hospital admission. The emergency services did not provide information about any other people involved.
In the security sector, the control centre activated the Policía Local. Its officers secured the scene, managed traffic and drew up the Atestado. The report documents the sequence of events and provides a basis for any further investigation. Police said that recovery and documentation work caused temporary disruption, but traffic flow returned to normal once the scene had been cleared.
The information available comes from a standard emergency report issued by 112 Canarias on 8 October 2026, documenting the previous evening’s incident. Such reports record the location, time, initial response and the facilities to which those involved are taken. The exact cause of the accident, technical examinations of the vehicles and any traffic offences are matters for the competent investigative authorities. The section of Avenida Marítima involved is a major traffic route in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where traffic is typically heavy at peak times; this can cause delays during emergency responses, which are mitigated by traffic management at the scene.
