A tourist bus crashed into a ravin on the Spanish island of Tenerife on Monday, April 14, 2026, leaving 14 people injured. The accident occurred on the TF-436 road in the municipality of La Orotava.
Emergency services reported that the bus left the road and plunged down an embankment. Passengers were reportedly left hanging upside down, suspended by their seatbelts, before being rescued. Initial reports from local authorities suggested a possible brake failure as a cause, but an official investigation is ongoing to determine the exact circumstances.
Fourteen people were treated for injuries at the scene, with several transported to hospitals. Their conditions were reported as not life-threatening. The bus was carrying a group of tourists at the time of the incident.
Local police and emergency responders, including the Canary Islands Emergency Service (SUC) and the Guardia Civil, mobilized to the scene for the rescue operation. The investigation into the cause of the crash continues.
