Brit tourist, 18, fighting for life after third floor balcony plunge in Ibiza as he’s airlifted to hospital
A BRIT tourist is fighting for his life after reportedly falling from a third-floor apartment in Ibiza.
The 18-year-old was rushed to hospital after being found unconscious on the pavement with severe injuries on Sunday evening.
The emergency services found the Brit after receiving an alert around 9:47pm on Sunday.
They rushed to the horrifying scene in San Antonio where paramedics were able to stabilise the teenager.
Medics then took him to the Can Misses Hospital where he was treated for head trauma and serious multiple injuries, as reported by the Ibiza and Formentera Health Area (Asef).
From there he was airlifted by helicopter to the Son Espases Hospital in Mallorca for further treatment.
The teenager remains in a very serious condition, doctors told Periodico de Ibiza.
It is thought that the Brit fell from the third floor of the Ibiza property above the street but the police are still investigating what happened.
It is not yet known if he was on holiday on the island or living there.
This comes after a British tourist tragically plunged to her death from the sixth-floor of a hotel in Ibiza in August last year.
The 19-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene after the fall.
Paramedics raced to the scene but could do nothing to save the female holidaymaker due to the severity of her injuries.
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.”
The British teen was the second Brit to fall to their death in the Balearic Isles in a matter of days.
A 28-year-old British holidaymaker died in a 15ft fall at a hotel in Palmanova near Magaluf in Majorca after a night out partying just a few days prior.
The incident happened at the four-star Reverence Mare Hotel in Palmanova.
The alarm was raised around 7am on Saturday, although the holidaymaker is believed to have fallen to his death several hours earlier.
Civil Guard investigators believe he suffered his fatal accident after trying to enter the wrong hotel following a night out partying and losing his way during an attempted short-cut.
