Third Terrace accident in a week

This is the third time in the last week that the vehicles of Las Palmas have seemed to suffer from difficulties operating on the terraced hillsides of the Capital of Gran Canaria, just last Tuesday a lorry, with a crane arm attached, managed to become unbalanced and narrowly escaped a large drop from a terrace, having to be assisted by police and fire crews also.

And on Monday last a car at the Gran Canaria Arena rolled over the edge of a terrace, requiring assistance too.
