A family from Britain has recently been involved in a frightening car accident while on vacation in Menorca. The father and his two sons were traveling in a taxi when they collided head-on with a rental car, resulting in the tragic death of a female passenger. The taxi driver and the father sustained minor injuries, but the two sons were not as fortunate.
The younger of the two brothers, only 20 years old, suffered severe head injuries and was immediately taken to Mateu Orfila Hospital for treatment. Thankfully, he is now in stable condition and under the care of the hospital's intensive care unit. His 24-year-old brother also suffered serious injuries, including a broken leg.
Tragically, the woman who passed away was a 72-year-old Argentinian national who was riding in the front seat of the rental car. Her husband, who was driving at the time, also sustained serious injuries and is currently being treated at the same hospital as the British family.
The accident took place this morning around 9:30 am near the picturesque town of Ferreries on the island. Photos from the scene reveal the devastating damage to both vehicles, with shattered windshields and debris scattered across the road. The authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, and initial reports suggest that the rental car may have veered onto the wrong side of the road, causing the collision.
It is heartbreaking to hear that this family was simply trying to enjoy their holiday in Menorca when tragedy struck. The injured Brits were all on vacation, and it is unclear where they were headed in the taxi at the time of the accident. The crash caused significant traffic delays, and the community is in shock over the loss of another life on Menorca's roads.
This accident marks the sixth road traffic fatality on the island this year, highlighting the need for caution and safety on the roads.
