British tourist critically ill after quad bike fall

Wednesday, 17 Sep, 2012 0

A British mother is fighting for her life after falling off a quad bike during a holiday in Ibiza.

Lisa Darlington, 45, is in a critical condition with serious head injuries after riding as a passenger while her son Danny drove.

He is thought to have lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a stone wall.

The accident happened on a road near Cala Llonga, a popular beach resort on the island’s south east coast.

Danny is said to have rented the quad bike using a provisional UK driving licence, when a full licence is required to drive the vehicle on a road, reports the Daily Mail.

It is the fourth quad bike accident on the island already this month and the sixth since June.

On September 9 a British couple, aged 64 and 52, were run down by a quad bike in the party town of San Antonio.

They were struck as they crossed a busy road at a crossing point at 3pm.

The 52-year-old woman suffered multiple injuries while both the man’s legs were injured.

And in July a French woman was taken to hospital with serious injuries after falling from a quad near Cala Jondal.
