A child under 10 years old suffered a leg fracture after falling on the Rossinyol piste in El Tarter ski resort at Canillo. The incident took place on Tuesday shortly after 4pm during a school skiing activity.
Station staff and the child's accompanying supervisors provided initial aid. The boy, who was properly identified and part of his assigned group, was then taken by ambulance from the sanitary transport service to the hospital. Eyewitness accounts confirm he had the appropriate escorts present.
Earlier reports described the child as a member of a local ski club skiing alone, but the station has since clarified this stemmed from a confusion. He was participating in organized school skiing, not a club outing.
Few further details have emerged due to the child's age. Parents and others linked to the activity have expressed frustration with the monitors' oversight in prior accounts, though the latest information emphasizes the presence of supervisors. Authorities have not commented further on the circumstances leading to the fall.
