A British tourist is in intensive care after fracturing his spine in a swimming pool in Ibiza.
The 23-year-old was seriously injured on Tuesday afternoon after jumping into the pool at the hotel where he was staying in Sant Antoni.
He jumped from a height of 1.2 metres and hit his head on the bottom of the pool.
He suffered a spinal cord injury, a fracture of the sixth vertebra, head trauma and a cervical injury, and may lose some mobility, reports Cadena Ser.
Two ambulances were called to the scene following the incident, where he was stabilised before being transported to the Policlínica del Rosario.
The hospital said the Brit underwent emergency surgery by the neurosurgery team overnight.
