A British man has died in a head-on car crash in Ibiza between a car and a dustbin lorry.
The driver, 36, died at the scene of the collision alongside a 26-year-old passenger in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Two back-seat passengers in the white Range Rover, two men aged 32 and 45 whose nationalities are not yet known, were rushed to hospital after being seriously injured.
The 4×4 is said to have smashed head-on into a dustbin lorry in the opposite carriageway as it overtook a Kia with two women inside.
The accident happened near a karting circuit called Go-Karts Santa Eulalia on the road between Ibiza and Santa Eulalia around 4am local time on Saturday.

Footage from the scene showed what remained of the wrecked Range Rover being loaded onto a tow truck.
Confirming the accident had claimed the lives of two people and left another three injured, a spokesman for the local emergency health response service said: ‘Two people died at the scene.
‘A 32-year-old who was seriously injured was transferred to Can Misses Hospital in Ibiza Town.
‘A 45-year-old was transferred seriously injury to a private clinic and a 23-year-old with minor injuries was also taken to Can Misses.’
The Civil Guard has launched an investigation. Initial local reports said officers were studying whether the Range Rover driver had overtaken the Kia at a spot where overtaking wasn’t allowed and there was a continuous white line separating both carriageways.
