Brit boy plunged 3 storeys from popular resort hotel as he went to grab towel
A British boy seriously injured in a third-floor Ibiza hotel plunge lost his balance as he went to fetch a towel hanging over his balcony, it emerged today. The eight-year-old, who suffered a traumatic brain injury as well as a skull fracture and broken jaw in Tuesday night's fall, was with his grandmother at the time according to local reports. Police investigators confirmed overnight the incident was being treated as an accident. Hospital chiefs are expected to update the injured youngster's condition later today. He was airlifted to an intensive care unit at Majorca's Son Espases Hospital following an emergency op at a private clinic in Ibiza. The unnamed child went over the edge of his balcony at the Aparthotel Vibra Bay in the Ibizan holiday resort of San Antonio just before 8.30pm on Tuesday. A regional government-run emergency response coordination centre activated a poly trauma alert so the first hospital he was taken to could prepare for his arrival. Civil Guard chiefs issued a green alert so officers could clear traffic for the ambulance and make sure the youngster got to the medical centre as soon as possible. Clinica Nuestra Señora del Rosario, the private hospital where he had an emergency op on Tuesday night, confirmed his catalogue of injuries after his admission. Medics diagnosed severe brain trauma, saying he had a skull fracture, subdural haematoma and a cerebral oedema. They also listed injuries including a fractured jaw and chest trauma. The transfer to Majorca reportedly occurred because no paediatric intensive care unit beds were available in Ibiza. In the early hours of Sunday morning a 24-year-old British holidaymaker was critically injured after plunging from his hotel in Puerto Banus near Marbella on the Costa del Sol. He was staying in a first-floor room with friends who are said to have been sleeping when he fell. The injured tourist is thought to have been drinking heavily before he plunged to the street below the Hard Rock Hotel in what was the equivalent of a three-storey fall because of the area it is in. He was admitted to the Regional University Hospital of Malaga with chest, stomach and pelvic injuries and is understood to have suffered several broken bones. On Saturday two Irish holidaymakers were hurt after crashing off their buggy at a golf course near Marbella. One of the men had to be airlifted to hospital after smashing through a protective barrier around a green near the 18th tee at Santa Clara Golf and falling around 23 feet.
