A British man has died while go-karting in Spain. The 62-year-old is said to have gone into cardiac arrest while he was with his two children at a track near the town of Ciutadella in Menorca. The alarm was raised around 3pm local time (2pm BST) this afternoon.
Paramedics rushed to the scene and tried to revive him for more than an hour, but were unable to save him. At the time of the tragedy, the man’s wife was at a villa where he and his family were residing, located in Cala En Porter in the south of the island.
The fatality happened at an outdoor go-kart track called Castillo Menorca, which describes itself online as the holiday island’s largest of its kind.
It is on the main Menorca NE1 road between Ciutadella and Ferreries.
It was not immediately clear if the Brit lived on the island or was holidaying there.
Police have yet to make any comment. A post-mortem is expected to take place tomorrow.
