Two men and a woman died in separate incidents after sudden sea surges battered the Spanish island
Three people have died and at least 15 were injured in separate incidents linked to rough seas battering the Spanish island of Tenerife, pulling several victims into the ocean, emergency services said.
A rescue helicopter airlifted a man who had fallen into the water at a beach in La Guancha, a municipality in the north of the island, but he was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.
A local newspaper, El Día, said the man was a 43-year-old Spaniard who was fishing at the site at the time of the accident and “fell from a considerable height”.
A man was also found floating at El Cabezo beach in the south. Lifeguards and medical staff tried to resuscitate him but he died at the scene. His identity has not been disclosed.
