UPDATE: Two young lives were lost in a shocking series of motorbike accidents on the holiday island of Tenerife, just hours apart. Adrián, aged 28, and his girlfriend Orimar Endrina Adellan Fumero, 34, both originally from Venezuela, tragically died in separate incidents that have left the community reeling.
Initial reports indicate that the first crash occurred around 6 PM last Friday, when Orimar was riding her motorbike. While navigating the streets of Tenerife, she was temporarily blinded, leading to a catastrophic loss of control. Orimar crashed into a car and was thrown into the path of an oncoming bus. Despite the heroic efforts of firefighters to rescue her, paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.
Just hours after being informed of Orimar’s tragic passing, Adrián went to her home in a state of grief to care for her pets. However, fate took another devastating turn when he was involved in a fatal accident on the notorious TF-65 road near Las Zocas. Reports confirm that a 63-year-old Spanish man ran a stop sign and struck Adrián’s motorcycle. The driver, who was allegedly under the influence of both alcohol and drugs, was arrested at the scene.
Authorities report that the driver has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving, a serious offense that carries a potential prison sentence of one to four years and a driving ban of one to six years. After spending the night in custody, he was released on bail and is now awaiting trial.
The couple had shared a deep bond over their love for animals and motorbikes, having been together for approximately two years. Adrián had lived in Adeje since the age of three, while Orimar had moved to Tenerife as a child and was last residing in El Escobonal. Adrián was known for his passion for breeding falcons, and Orimar was a trained healthcare assistant working in a health food store.
The emotional toll of this tragedy has deeply affected their families. Adrián leaves behind his grandmother and sister, while Orimar’s younger sister has reportedly suffered a nervous breakdown following the devastating news.
This tragic incident comes on the heels of another recent fatality on the island, where a cyclist was killed in a hit-and-run on the TF-652 road in Arona. Investigations are ongoing into both incidents, highlighting growing concerns over road safety on the island.
As the community mourns the loss of Adrián and Orimar, authorities urge drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to traffic regulations to prevent further tragedies. The impact of this heartbreaking loss will be felt for years to come, marking a somber chapter in Tenerife’s history.
