A British child is seriously injured after running into a glass window pane at a Magaluf hotel.
The eight-year-old had a ‘freak accident’ midday, suffering deep cuts, and had to be transferred to the hospital for an emergency operation.
The youngster was with his parents at the time.
Local reports said he had hurt himself after starting to run along a corridor and smashing into the glass at the unnamed hotel.
The operation is understood to have taken place at Son Espases Hospital in the Majorcan capital, Palma.
Police were called to the scene and have launched an investigation into the incident.
Earlier this week, a British motorcyclist who died after slamming head-on in a van in Spain was identified as London-based millionaire Paul Gerard Tustain.
The 62-year-old was riding along the NA-1110 – a road that runs parallel to the A-12 motorway – when his bike collided directly with the front of a white van.
His daughter was riding behind him when the crash happened, as the two are understood to have been doing a tour in Spain.
She watched her father’s bike crash into the van before being hurled across the tarmac.
The impact was so violent it crushed the front of the vehicle, leaving debris strewn along the roadside, about 35 minutes from Pamplona, famous for the running of the bulls.
Paul and his daughter were heading for the town of Logrono when the crash occurred.
Tributes have been paid to Paul, who was the founder and chair of Bullion Vault, the world’s largest online bullion investment service.
