A thirteen-year-old adolescent has died in Ciudad Rodrigo, in Castilla y León, and three other people have been seriously injured while participating in the celebration of the Spanish national team's victory in the Football World Cup. They were inside a fountain with other young people when part of the structure gave way due to the crowd and a stone fell on the minor.
The events occurred at the Árbol Gordo fountain in this city in the province of Salamanca. Several local police officers tried to assist the minor and removed the rubble to free him, according to Europa Press. However, the boy ultimately died from his injuries. The collapse of the structure also seriously injured three other people who were in the fountain at the time.
The Ciudad Rodrigo City Council has expressed its condolences for this death in a statement released on social media, in which it emphasized: "The entire city feels this loss and accompanies the minor's family and friends in their grief." "What should have been a celebration for the World Cup victory has turned into a tragedy for the entire city," lamented the council, which also expressed its wish for those affected by the incident to have a speedy recovery.
