School boy seriously injured after horror fall from third-floor balcony at hotel in Ibiza
The child has been left with severe brain trauma having suffered a skull fracture. A child is seriously injured after falling from a balcony on the third floor of a hotel in Ibiza. The boy, eight, tumbled from the premises in San Antonio on Tuesday evening. Local media reports that he fell after losing his balance as he fetched a towel hanging over the balcony. It is understood he suffered a traumatic brain injury as well as a skull fracture and broken jaw. The child, from the UK, was airlifted to an intensive care unit at Majorca's S on Espases Hospital. Police investigators confirmed overnight the incident was being treated as an accident, and hospital chiefs are expected to update the injured youngster's condition later today. The Mirror reports that a regional government-run emergency response 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. Clínica 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. It comes after a 24-year-old British holidaymaker was critically injured after plunging from his hotel in Puerto Banus near Marbella on the Costa del Sol on Sunday morning. 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. He was raced 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.

Brit tourist, 18, fighting for life after third floor balcony plunge in Ibiza as he's airlifted to hospital Witnesses say the unnamed holidaymaker plunged from a first-floor balcony - but it's said to have been the equivalent of a third-floor fall. It's understood that he fell from the balcony onto a public street. Advertisement Three friends the Brit was with - who is described by unconfirmed reports as being young - have been quizzed by cops as part of an ongoing investigation. Cops have not yet made any official comment but are not thought to be treating the incident as a case of so-called "balconing".

Advertisement The 19-year-old was rushed to hospital after being found unconscious on the pavement with severe injuries. Emergency services 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. Advertisement And in August last year, a British tourist tragically plunged to her death from the sixth-floor of a hotel in Ibiza. 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.' Advertisement A well-placed police source added: 'Everything is pointing to this being a tragic accidental fall.'
