A young British courting couple had a miraculous escape when they plunged nearly 50 feet from a wall in Majorca because their fall was broken by a tree.
Leanne Hanley, 21, from Blackpool, and boyfriend Nicholas Maxwell, also 21, from nearby Preston, climbed up to the view point next to their holiday apartment block after a night on the town in the brash resort of Magaluf, on the holiday island's south coast.
They were indulging in what police described as "an amorous game" when they fell from the wall at 5.30am on Sunday.
As they plunged to the ground they crashed through the branches of a fig tree which broke their fall and saved their lives.
Leanne is recovering in hospital at nearby Palma, the island's capital, with two broken ankles, while Nicholas was not even hurt.
