A 53-year-old man has died after an electric scooter accident in Portals Nous.
Real Estate Agent, Marcos Blasco was on his way to work on Monday, June 14 afternoon when he hit a pothole on Passeig Calvia, near Marineland and lost control of his electric scooter.
Several witnesses called the emergency services to report that a man was lying on the ground, bleeding profusely.
