A German holidaymaker was killed lying in a hammock when he was hit by a piece of palm tree dislodged by a sudden rogue wind - his friend was also badly injured.
The
41-year-old man, named only as Marco P., was on holiday with his 35-year-old
friend Martin E., on the Canary Island Fuerteventura, staying for a week at the
Robinson Club Jandia Playa.
On Sunday
afternoon the two men took to the hammocks set in the gardens of the hotel
complex – ignoring the increasingly violent winds, the Bild newspaper reported
on Monday.
One of
the trees cracked and broke in the wind, landing on Marco P., killing him
instantly – and seriously injuring Martin E.
The men
were taken by helicopter to hospital, where Martin E. is being treated, nothing
could be done for his older friend.
German
police confirmed on Tuesday that the men came from Böblingen near Karlsruhe.
