Daredevil Influencer Falls to His Death from Spain’s Tallest Bridge
A British influencer has died in Spain after falling from one of the country’s tallest bridges, which stands at 192 meters high.
The 26-year-old man was attempting to scale the Puente de Castilla-La Mancha bridge when he unexpectedly fell to his death around 7:15 a.m. on Sunday, October 13.
He was found alongside a shocked 24-year-old British companion.
National police, local firefighters, and paramedics were called to the scene but found the influencer deceased upon arrival.
Authorities have since cordoned off the area where the incident occurred.
A spokesperson for the Spanish Police stated that the investigation is still ongoing.
They shared: “He was about 40 to 50 metres up, around a quarter of the total height of the bridge, when he fell. The reason he fell is not clear and will be investigated by a local court.”
A source close to the investigation said: “Both the de@d man and the companion that survived were climbing without any harnesses or other protection. A passing motorist raised the alarm.
“The other lad was in a state of shock initially and couldn’t even speak. He’s obviously still pretty traumatised but is not at the police station any longer.
“He’s not going to be charged with any crime. Whether the local town hall decides to sanction him for doing something illegal is a decision for them.”
The bridge, located 90 minutes from Madrid, has strict regulations prohibiting the public from climbing the complex structure.
Local councillor Macarena Munoz confirmed that climbing the bridge is “totally banned.”
The influencer has not yet been named to respect his privacy.
