The British tourist, who is a 34-year-old man, was hit by a taxi after falling into the road “drunk,” according to reports coming out of San Antonio this afternoon
A British tourist is said to be “very serious” after being run over by a taxi in the Ibizan party resort of San Antonio.
The 34-year-old man was reportedly hit by the cabbie after falling into the road “drunk”. The vehicle is said to have driven over him. An ambulance stabilised him at the scene before he was rushed to Can Misses Hospital in the island’s capital.
The near-tragedy happened around 9.30pm last night. Local reports said the holidaymaker was in a “very serious” condition with multiple injuries when he was assisted at the scene.
He arrived at hospital just before 11pm. His condition this morning was not immediately clear. Meanwhile, overnight sources at Can Misses confirmed a 70-year-old British man remained in a “critical condition” after getting into difficulties in the sea off the paradise Spanish island of Formentera.
He was pulled out of the water at picture-postcard Ses Illetes beach by lifeguards who performed life-saving CPR on him. Emergency responders stabilised him on the sand before an ambulance took him initially to the island hospital.
Doctors then decided he should be flown by helicopter to Can Misses Hospital in Ibiza given the seriousness of his condition. The drama occurred just after 3.30pm yesterday afternoon.
In August, a British tourist plunged to her death from the sixth-floor of a hotel in Ibiza. The 19-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene after falling “by accident”. The tragedy occurred around 3am this morning at a seafront four-star adult-only hotel in the party resort of San Antonio called Hotel Vibra District.
Paramedics raced to the scene but could do nothing to save the female holidaymaker because of the extent of her injuries. The Civil Guard were continuing to investigate this morning and an autopsy has yet to take place.
A spokesman for the force said at the time: “I can confirm a 19-year-old British tourist has died following a fall at a hotel in San Antonio in Ibiza.” A well-placed police source added: “Everything is pointing to this being a tragic accidental fall.”
