The case that investigated the death of two women, mother and daughter, after falling with a buggy through Las Roferas has been dismissed. The Justice of Lanzarote considered on May 22 that there was no criminal matter surrounding their death.
Cheryl and her mother Vivian, both British, arrived in Lanzarote on May 14 for a family trip. The next day they had a buggy excursion scheduled around the island that they had booked before the trip through a tour operator.
That day, Cheryl was driving the buggy when they fell from a height of six meters at an old point of extraction of picón or rofe in Teseguite during a guided excursion.
At the time of the accident, Vivian (61 years old) was the first to lose her life. Cheryl, her daughter, was transferred to the Doctor José Molina Orosa Hospital of Lanzarote, where she died four days later.
According to the Councilor for the Environment, Animal Welfare and Food Sovereignty of the Cabildo de Lanzarote, Nicolás Saavedra, the company that owns the buggy "has an authorization from the Teguise City Council to circulate in the area".
