A young couple tragically died in two separate motorbike accidents just hours apart.
Orimar Endrina Adellan Fumero died at around 6pm last Friday (26 Dec) while riding her motorcycle.
She may have been temporarily blinded, causing her to crash into the back of a car and be thrown into the path of a bus.

Firefighters freed her from beneath the vehicle, but paramedics could only confirm the 34-year-old’s death.
Just hours later, at around 11:30am on Saturday (27 Dec), her boyfriend Adrián died when a driver ran a stop sign and struck the 28-year-old’s motorbike.
The driver, a 63-year-old Spanish man, was arrested 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.
Orimar’s accident occurred on the TF-1 motorway near the Granadilla de Abona Industrial Estate in Tenerife.
Adrián’s crash took place on the notorious TF-65 road in Las Zocas, a route flagged by authorities for its high risk.
At the time, Adrián was on his way to Orimar’s home, still grieving, to feed her dog and three cats.
The couple, who had been together for around two years, had bonded over a shared love of animals and motorbikes.
Both were originally from Venezuela, as reported by Need To Know.
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 is survived by his grandmother and a sister, while Orimar’s younger sister suffered a nervous breakdown following the tragedy.
Adrián had been involved in breeding falcons, while Orimar had trained as a healthcare assistant and was last working in a health food store.
The driver 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.
