A YOUNG couple have tragically died in separate motorbike crashes just hours apart.
Adrián, 28, was visiting his girlfriend Orimar Endrina Adellan Fumero, 34, in Spain when they were both killed in freak crashes.
According to initial reports, Orimar was riding her motorbike in Tenerife at around 6pm last Friday when she was temporarily blinded.
Losing control of the vehicle, she crashed into the back of a car and was thrown into the path of a bus.
Firefighters managed to prise her out from beneath the vehicle, but she could not be saved by paramedics.
Just hours after investigators notified her boyfriend, Adrián, he headed to Orimar’s home, still grieving, to feed her dog and three cats.
COAST TRAGEDY
Death toll from horror Tenerife freak wave tragedy rises to four
Cops say Adrián was driving on the TF-1 motorway near the Granadilla de Abona Industrial Estate when he was struck by a driver who ran a stop sign.
Adrián’s crash took place on the notorious TF-65 road in Las Zocas, a route flagged by authorities for its high risk.
The driver, a 63-year-old Spanish man, was arrested at the scene and was allegedly under the influence of both alcohol and drugs.
After spending the night in a holding cell, he appeared before a judge and was released on bail.
He now faces charges of causing death by dangerous driving, which carries a jail sentence of one to four years and a driving ban of one to six years.
The couple, who had been together for around two years, bonded over a shared love of animals and motorbikes.
Both were originally from Venezuela.
Adrián had lived in Adeje since the age of three, while Orimar moved to Tenerife with her family at nine and was last living in El Escobonal.
Adrián had been involved in breeding falcons, while Orimar had trained as a healthcare assistant and was last working in a health food store.
Adrián is survived by his grandmother and a sister, while Orimar’s younger sister suffered a nervous breakdown following the tragedy.
This comes just weeks after a cyclist was killed in a hit-and-run in Tenerife.
The alarm was raised around 8pm in the municipality of Arona in the south of the holiday island.
The victim was cycling on the TF-652 road between Las Chafiras and the fishing village of Las Galletas.
The island newspaper El Dia said the Civil Guard were investigating whether he had been “murdered”.
