British teenager fighting for life after third-floor balcony fall in Ibiza
The 18-year-old was flown to a major trauma hospital in Mallorca following the late-night accident in Sant Antoni
An 18-year-old British teenager is in critical condition after falling from a third-floor apartment in the early hours of Monday morning in the Mallorca town of Sant Antoni de Portmany, a busy coastal town on the western side of the island that is particularly popular with British holidaymakers during the summer season.Emergency services were called to the scene at around midnight after the young man reportedly lost consciousness following the fall. He is said to have suffered multiple serious injuries.
Paramedics from SAMU 061 (Servicio de Asistencia Médica de Urgencia) were first on the scene and arrived in an Advanced Life Support ambulance. They worked to stabilise the teenager before taking him to Can Misses Hospital in Ibiza.
However, due to the severity of his condition, doctors made the decision to airlift him by medical helicopter to Son Espases Hospital in Mallorca, where he is now receiving specialist treatment.
It is not yet clear how the fall occurred, only that local reports say the young man fell from a third-floor balcony.
Also, the identity of the teenager has not been made public, and there has been no official update on his condition since his transfer.
