A BRITISH man has died while go-karting in Spain at the largest outdoors track on a Spanish holiday island.
The 62-year-old is said to have tragically gone into cardiac arrest while he was with his two children at a track near the town of Ciutadella in tourist hotspot Menorca.
Paramedics tried to revive him for more than an hour after reaching the area but were unable to save him.
The Brit man's wife had stayed at a villa where he and his family were staying in Cala En Porter, the south of the island.
The alarm was raised around 3pm this afternoon.
The tragedy occurred at an outdoors go-kart track named Castillo Menorca - the largest track on the holiday island.
It's on the main Menorca NE1 road between Ciutadella and Ferreries.
It was not immediately clear if the Brit lived on the island or was holidaying there.
Police have yet to make any comment and a post-mortem is expected to take place tomorrow.
A few weeks ago, two holidaymakers were left injured after plunging their golf buggy down a 23-foot ravine at a Marbella golf club.
One of the two men had to be airlifted to hospital after falling down the ravine with the buggy.
The other holidaymaker managed to leap from the buggy as it veered over when they went through a protective barrier alongside a path between the 17th and 18th tees.
The miracle escape occurred as the two men prepared to finish a round of golf with other pals before a birthday party.
Officials confirmed both men, aged 29 and 46, were Irish and previously said an investigation into the accident was still ongoing.
