Story

A 34-year-old British tourist was seriously injured after being struck by a taxi in San Antonio, Ibiza, around 9:30 PM last night. Reports indicate that the man fell into the road while intoxicated, leading to the accident. Emergency services arrived promptly, providing stabilization at the scene before transporting him to Can Misses Hospital, where he arrived shortly before 11 PM. His condition was reported as 'very serious' with multiple injuries, although updates on his status were not immediately available the following morning. In a separate incident, a 70-year-old British man was in critical condition after being rescued from the sea off Formentera. Lifeguards performed CPR after pulling him from the water at Ses Illetes beach. He was stabilized on the beach before being taken to the island hospital, and due to the severity of his condition, he was later airlifted to Can Misses Hospital for further treatment. These incidents highlight the dangers that can arise during holiday festivities, particularly in party-centric locations like Ibiza. The combination of alcohol consumption and the vibrant nightlife can lead to unfortunate accidents, as seen in the case of the young tourist who fell to her death from a hotel in August. Authorities continue to investigate these incidents, emphasizing the need for safety measures to protect tourists. The local community and emergency services are on high alert, ensuring that visitors can enjoy their time while minimizing risks associated with excessive drinking and unsafe behaviors.
