A man died on Wednesday after his boat sank in the waters of Taliarte, off the coast of Telde in Gran Canaria. A call was received by the 112 emergency coordination centre who immediately dispatched rescuers and a helicopter, but there was nothing they could do other than lift the lifeless body of the man aboard the helicopter and take him to the shore, where a medical team confirmed he had died. An investigation and autopsy is being carried out.
A 58 year old man died on Wednesday when he apparently lost control of the truck he was driving, which left the carriageway and plummeted 12 metres onto the railway tracks below of the Madrid to Barcelona high speed train. The Guardia Civil are investigating the reasons why the truck, which was not carrying any cargo at the time, managed to land on the tracks having left the road at one of the principle ring roads of the capital, Madrid. The driver suffered serious, fatal injuries and had to be removed by fire fighters. There were no trains involved in the incident, but there were delays for some time after.
