A 15-year-old skateboarder who was skating the wrong way along the Avenidas and collided with an EMT public bus in Palma on Tuesday, was recovering from his injuries in hospital yesterday.
According to the driver of the bus, the youngster suddenly appeared in front of him and was looking in the opposite direction as the bus came round the corner, giving the teenager no time to get out of the way of the bus.
The force of the impact was so fierce that the front windscreen of the bus was totally shattered.
