A British teenager is fighting for his life after diving into the shallow area of a Magaluf swimming pool and apparently hitting his head. The incident occurred during the early hours of this morning at a beach club in the Majorca party resort.
Reports suggest the 19-year-old, who has not been named, tried to leap headfirst into the pool but the water was just a couple of feet deep. Emergency services were called by staff.
Medics found he had suffered serious injuries and he was rushed to hospital in the island capital Palma after emergency treatment at the scene, according to the Ultima Hora newspaper. The teen is being treated in the trauma unit at the Son Espases hospital.
