A tourist died in the early hours of Saturday and another was left in critical condition after falling roughly six metres when a hotel railing in Costa Teguise, Lanzarote, collapsed.

The accident occurred at about 1:30 a.m.

When emergency services arrived, the death of one of the victims was confirmed. The second victim, who sustained extremely serious injuries, was treated on‑site by personnel from the Canary Islands Emergency Service (SUC) and later transferred to the Doctor José Molina Orosa Hospital, according to sources from the Canary Government’s Coordination Center for Security and Emergencies cited by Europa Press.

Police from the Teguise Local Council, two SUC ambulances, and officers of the Civil Guard rushed to the location and are now investigating the circumstances that led to the tragedy.
