The Traffic Accident Unit of the Arrecife Local Police Force has investigated the driver of a vehicle who failed to respect a yield sign and attributes to him the commission of an alleged crime of injury due to less serious negligence. The proceedings have been sent to the Court after the traffic accident that occurred in a roundabout in the capital.
Specifically, the incident took place at the roundabout that connects Avenida Rambla Medular with Calle Triana.
According to the statement issued by the Local Police, the investigated facts expose that one of the drivers did not respect a yield sign, violating the General Traffic Regulations, which caused a collision with a Personal Mobility Vehicle (PMV). The PMV driver had to be transferred to Doctor José Molina Orosa Hospital with injuries resulting from the impact.
The Traffic Accident Unit has assured that during the investigation it collected sufficient evidence that attributes responsibility for the accident to one of the drivers for his imprudence while driving.
Call to the public
The Local Police of Arrecife has insisted on the importance of complying with traffic regulations to avoid accidents that endanger people's lives and safety.
Likewise, it has reminded Personal Mobility Vehicle (PMV) drivers of the obligation to respect traffic regulations, wear reflective clothing and a helmet, and have civil liability insurance that covers possible incidents. These measures are not only essential for their safety, but also to minimize the legal consequences in the event of accidents.
This summer, there has been a significant increase in accidents between vehicles and PMVs. For this reason, all users of public roads are urged to take extreme precautions and comply with current regulations.
