One dead, two seriously injured, in head-on collision on TF1

[Janet]

A woman died, and two others were seriously injured, in a head-on car crash last night on the south-bound TF1 near Los Cristianos. The dead woman, said to be around 40 years of age, was in a car travelling in the wrong direction and the man with her, of around the same age, had to be cut out of the vehicle. He was then transferred with multiple injuries to Candelaria, where his condition is said to be serious. A second woman, slightly younger, in the other car involved in the crash also needed to be cut out of her vehicle. She was transferred to HUC, where her condition also is said to be serious. The couple in the car travelling in the wrong direction has not yet been identified. JA

I make no apology for suggesting that this was drink/drug related.

I was once in the passenger seat of a car that took a no-entry road off a roundabout. Even as I shouted at the driver the car continued the wrong way up the exit sliproad of a motorway. Drivers coming off the motorway realised and stopped to enable us to turn round but the driver instead tried to weave around them and try to carry on onto the motorway in the wrong direction. At that point i virtually grabbed the wheel and demanded that the driver use the barrier provided by the stopped oncoming drivers and turn the fucking car around. She hadn't realised that the other drivers were trying to help 

No drink or drugs were involved, just old fashioned stupidity...
