A man has been injured this Wednesday after overturning his vehicle and becoming trapped inside on the LZ-46 road, in the municipality of Tinajo, according to the Lanzarote Emergency Consortium.
The incident occurred around 3:17 PM and, after receiving the call, 112 activated the firefighters of the Lanzarote Consortium for Security, Emergencies, Rescue, Prevention, and Fire Extinguishing, who freed the occupant from inside the cabin.
Upon arriving at the scene, the personnel proceeded to stabilize the vehicle and open the driver's door using hydraulic tools. Thus, they used this opening to extract the person with a long spine board and then evacuated them to the ambulance.
The medical personnel assisted the affected person, a man who at the initial moment of assistance presented moderate multiple contusions and was transferred by a medicalized ambulance to the Doctor José Molina Orosa Hospital.
The Guardia Civil and Local Police also traveled to the scene, and their agents carried out the corresponding report.
