Yaiza Civil Protection rescues a Dutch tourist who had gotten lost in Los Ajaches

Yaiza Civil Protection rescued this Saturday a Dutch tourist, 54 years old, lost in the Natural Monument of Los Ajaches. Officers of the municipal body responded to the 112 alert, around 4:10 p.m., with two all-terrain vehicles to locate the lost man who had discomfort in his right leg.

The tourist was evacuated to the entrance of Playa Blanca, where an SUC ambulance was waiting for him. The Yaiza Local Police supported the search and rescue work of Civil Protection.

On the other hand, this same Saturday, a car that was traveling between the towns of Las Casitas and Femés suffered a lateral rollover on a curve at around 6:00 p.m. The driver, the sole occupant of the car, complained of lower back pain, requiring her transfer by ambulance to a health center. The Civil Guard Traffic, the Yaiza Local Police and the Yaiza Civil Protection attended the emergency. Civil Protection personnel cleaned the asphalt and helped the crane operators to remove the vehicle from the road.
