A 58-year-old British woman has died after plunging down a steep hillside whilst riding an electric scooter in Benidorm.
The accident happened yesterday afternoon at about 4.15 pm and it is understood another person also riding a motorised scooter was also injured when he or she tried to help rescue the woman.
Full details are yet to emerge, but other family members were said to have been present, including an eight-year-old boy.
The Spanish press is reporting that the motorised scooter, apparently rented, left the road for some reason and drove off the hillside in a location difficult to access.
Officials had initially said the youngster suffered only minor injuries.
