Tragic end in Spain, 13-year-old dies under rubble of a structure during World Cup celebration

An evening that was expected to be pure joy in Ciudad Rodrigo in the province of Salamanca, after Spain’s second World Cup triumph, took a shocking turn when a 13-year-old teenager died amid celebrations following the final win against Argentina.

The victim was hit by fragments of a fountain that collapsed due to the overload of people who had climbed onto it. According to preliminary data reported by the Spanish press, the young boy was with hundreds of peers near a fountain in the square, a place known as a traditional gathering spot during town celebrations.

Despite the immediate reaction of the citizens present and local police officers, who managed to pull him out of the collapsed materials, the minor was dead at the moment of his extraction.

Two other people were injured during the same incident and were immediately transported to the hospital for medical treatment.
