Civil Guard motorcyclists rode in front of the ambulance to ensure it arrived at the hospital as soon as possible.
The Spanish press writes that a terrible incident took place in the Hidropark water park in Alcudia.
Local newspaper Cronica Balear writes that the British man “was knocked unconscious when he went down one of the slides and hit his head.”
They reported: “The boy fell unconscious as a result of the collision, and after reaching the pool, he fell to the bottom of it.”
The paper also states that when the ambulance arrived at the scene, “medical workers began to revive the child” and “restored his pulse”, but the British man remained unconscious.
After stabilizing the 15-year-old, the ambulance began to transfer him to Son Espases Hospital.
Due to the seriousness of the British situation, the Civil Guard declared a “green alert” where various patrols cut off traffic at major intersections to allow ambulances to pass freely.
Sources from the emergency service 061 claim that the incident happened around 4:00 p.m. when they received a report of a serious drowning in the water park.
An investigation is underway to determine what happened.
It comes weeks after a Briton drowned while diving off the coast of Lanzarote.

Emergency services rushed to pull the tourist out of the water at the popular Playa Chica beach, but were unable to revive him.
The 59-year-old was on holiday in the resort of Puerto del Carmen when he suffered a heart attack on Thursday.
The alarm was sounded a little after 12:30 on the popular beach, known for its incredible diving.
A spokesman for the regional government-run emergency center said overnight: “A 59-year-old diver died following an incident at Playa Chica in the municipality of Tias.
“We started receiving calls yesterday a little after 12:30 p.m.
“Callers said a diver had been pulled from the water and was unconscious and in need of immediate medical attention.
“Paramedics discovered he was in cardiac arrest when they arrived on scene and performed CPR on him with no positive results.
“He was pronounced dead at the scene. The local police and firefighters were also mobilized.”
