The British teenager who was rushed to intensive care after diving headfirst into a pool whilst on holiday in Magaluf is being treated for life-changing injuries. The 19-year-old victim remains in a serious condition following the incident on the holiday island of Majorca during the early hours of Tuesday.
It has been confirmed the young man, who has not been named, has suffered serious spinal injuries and there are fears he may never walk again. More details of the tragedy have come to light, according to local newspaper Ultima Hora.
The report states the teenager leapt into the pool at a beachfront club off the infamous Punta Ballena strip thinking he was jumping into the deep end. However, he dived headfirst into an area where the water was just two feet deep suffering catastrophic injuries.
