Local officials have confirmed that a European influence died after falling from one of Spain’s highest roads in an effort to post articles for social media, according to BBC.
The incident occurred early on Sunday morning as the 26-year-old man, whose identity has not been revealed, was scaling the 192-metre ( 630ft ) tall Castilla-La Mancha Bridge in Talavera de la Reina, about 120km southwest of Madrid. He was accompanied by a 24-year-old man at the time of the drop, who remains unknown.
Around 7.15 am, crisis services were called to the scene but were unable to keep him. The body of the victim was transported to a nearby death house.
They had come to Talavera to make content for social networks, according to city council Macarena Muoz, who is in charge of voter protection, which led to this unfortunate and sad results.
Muñoz said that climbing the gate is” completely prohibited” and had been warned against on many occasions. ” This cannot be done under any circumstances”, she added.
Local authorities responded to the event by recommending steps to reduce the accessibility of the bridge and introducing CCTV to improve security, according to reports from Spanish media.
The Castilla-La Mancha Bridge, which spans the River Tagus, was opened in 2011 and remains one of Spain’s towering cable-stayed buildings. Despite strict restrictions, it has been a common site for social media trekkers.
A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office stated that” we are in contact with the local government and are supporting the family of a British person who passed away in Spain.”
