A British expat has died after falling off his e-scooter while returning home from work on the Costa Blanca.

The 59-year-old was travelling on Calle Baikal, Oriheula, at around 8pm on Wednesday when the tragedy occurred.

Police are still investigating the cause of the crash but a report by local expat paper The Leader claims the Brit, named only as Adrian, hit a pothole. This has not been confirmed by authorities.

Streets and roads across Spain’s Mediterranean coast have become plagued with potholes following weeks of severe rain storms.
