A British man is fighting for his life in a Spanish hospital after falling 22 feet from a supermarket car park in Ibiza. The 26-year-old, who has not been named, suffered catastrophic injuries in the incident at the Mercadona supermarket in Sant Antoni de Portmany.
Emergency services were called at 8.16pm on Tuesday evening, with two ambulances rushing to the scene. The man was treated by paramedics before being transferred to the Nuestra Señora del Rosario Polyclinic in a critical condition.
Medical reports confirm he remains in the intensive care unit with severe head trauma, a skull fracture, multiple facial fractures, spinal fractures, a chest fracture, and abdominal trauma with lacerations to the liver and spleen. The exact circumstances of the fall are under investigation.
The incident follows a series of fatal falls involving British nationals abroad. Last week, a 25-year-old from north Wales died after falling from a hotel balcony in Malta. In May, a 39-year-old British woman died after plunging 60 feet from a scenic spot in Majorca.
The Foreign Office has stated it is in contact with local authorities regarding the incident. The man's identity has not yet been released, and it is unclear whether he was a tourist or a resident in Ibiza.
