Bus Plunges Off La Gomera Cliff, Killing 1

0:00On April 10th, a tourist bus plunged off a narrow mountain road on the Gomerah in the Canary Islands, killing one person and injuring at least 20. Others, some seriously. The crash happened on the GM2 highway near Sandsabashan, right by a sharp hairpin bend high above Rocky Terrain. Firefighters had to cut trap passengers free and secure the wrecked bus to stop its sliding further down the ravine. These mountain roads on Gomerah are notoriously tight and steep, cutting through the island's peaks like a knife edge. Tourists often call them a thrill ride, with real risks, especially on routes popular for scenic drives, to hotels or excursions. Rescue teams jumped into action fast, with ambulances, two helicopters, and police flooding the scene. They airlifted the worst cases to hospitals, battling tricky terrain that slowed everything down. Early reports pin one death, three grave injuries, and 11 moderate ones, but that tally could climb. Investigators from the civil guard are digging in now, checking break marks and talking to survivors.
