A 44-year-old man was injured this morning (Thursday) after his car overturned on Avenida de las Palmeras in Costa Teguise, Lanzarote.
The accident happened at around 10:30am, prompting an emergency response after reports of a vehicle that had flipped onto its roof. Firefighters attended the roadside and worked to return the car to its normal position. When emergency crews arrived, the driver had already managed to get out of the vehicle and was being treated by paramedics.
The man suffered multiple minor injuries and was taken to Hospital José Molina Orosa by ambulance for further assessment and treatment.
After the casualty had been transported to hospital, firefighters cleared the road and dealt with an oil spill caused by the crash. Absorbent material was used to make the area safe, while broken glass and vehicle debris were removed from the carriageway.
Officers from the Local Police were also there, managing traffic while emergency services carried out their work.
The cause of the accident has not been disclosed.
