Boy, 13, dies during World Cup celebrations in Spain

A 13-year-old boy was killed after part of a fountain collapsed in Salamanca province, northwestern Spain, during the country’s World Cup victory celebrations.

Two other young people were injured, emergency services told the BBC, including one child who was taken to hospital with a possible broken bone in his leg.

Youth were celebrating Spain’s victory inside the Árbol Gordo fountain in Salamanca’s Ciudad Rodrigo, when it partially collapsed around 00:30 local time (23:30 BST).

“What was supposed to be a celebration for the victory in the Spanish National Football Team’s World Cup has turned into a tragedy,” Ciudad Rodrigo’s town hall posted on social media.
