Rescue teams searching for Jay Slater in Tenerife have rescued a ‘disorientated’ British holidaymaker who they found trapped in a gorge near where the teenager went missing.
Concerned locals reported the man to police after the 51-year-old, from Scotland, went hiking in the heat and failed to return hours later. He was last seen venturing into the arid wilderness from the Los Carrizales neighbourhood near Masca, where search and rescue teams have been searching for missing Lancashire teenager Jay since last Monday. Rescue teams broke off their search for the 19-year-old after being alerted to the other missing man, who they found trapped at the Asomada Gorge.
Spanish police said the man would not have been able to escape from the gorge alone and was lucky to be alive. The area has poor phone coverage and the terrain is not suitable for hiking, said police.
