A lads vacation by a group of Bradford friends to the Spanish resort of Magaluf has turned into a holiday from hell after four of them were injured when car mowed through a crowd of revellers.

Joe Worsnop, 20, of Farfield Road, Wibsey, was dragged under the wheels of the dark-coloured Range Rover as he and his mates partied early last Monday after Spain’s Euro 2012 victory.

Horrific scenes, which show the vehicle’s front and back wheels, going over him as he lay prone on the ground, have been captured on film and posted on Youtube.

Mr Worsnop and his friends, including his twin brother, had been part of a crowd in the Majorcan town’s main strip when the chaos occurred and angry scenes erupted when the driver failed to stop.

Witnesses reported a mob further down the street smashed the vehicle’s windscreen as it was driven off.

Police later arrested a 37-year-old Spanish man and forensic tests are being carried out on the vehicle.

Mr Worsnop’s twin, James, rang their mother, Trish, from the back of the ambulance to tell her what had happened. James was kept in hospital for two days for X-rays and a gash in his back that needed 17 stitches.

But his much more seriously injured brother was in so much pain he flew home and had to be rushed immediately to Bradford Royal Infirmary where surgeons found his wounds had become infected.

Speaking from his hospital bed at BRI yesterday, Mr Worsnop, who turns 21 on Sunday, said: “I didn’t see the car at first. I thought someone had punched me to the floor but when I turned my head all I saw was the Range Rover plate and it was too late, the other wheels went over me.

“I’m just glad to be home. It was the scariest moment of my life but now I feel I’m the luckiest man alive, I’m so lucky to be here.”

His friend Michael McDonald, 20, of Redburn Drive, Wibsey, was another of the Bradford men struck but he managed to escape serious injury.

Mr McDonald said: “We’d been coming down from another bar when there were hundreds of people in the street in front of us all chanting football songs.

“A police car came through and let off tear-gas to clear the crowds. Some people did go and things had calmed down but then I was suddenly on the deck and realised I’d been run over, I’d been hit. We heard the driver was arrested eventually but the police are just treating it as an accident.”

Danny Nolan, 21, of Brearcliffe Drive, Wibsey, was struck a glancing blow by the Range Rover but he escaped with cuts and grazes.

He said: “I was just inches from going under the car. A bloke who’d been in front of the car and tried to stop him knocked me out of the way as he fell under.

“We’re staying on until Sunday but can’t wait to get home. It’s not the same without Joe, we want to see how he’s getting on.”

Glyn Hirst, also 21, of Fenwick Drive, Woodside, who saw the drama unfold, said: “This car just came up and mowed people down.

“The driver got impatient. I felt sick, I couldn’t look at first but then I had to go and find my mates.

“The car ran about five people over then stopped for a few seconds. I saw a guy in front of it put his hands on the bonnet but the driver just kept going and went over him and the other guy was still under his tyres. That poor guy’s still in ICU. He was begging his mates ‘don’t let me die’.”

The men had been part of a group of 15 Bradford friends who had flown out to Magaluf for a week.

A Foreign Office spokesman confirmed its officials were aware of an incident in Magaluf resulting in three British nationals needing hospital treatment and the consul’s help.

Still managing to retain his sense of humour, Mr Worsnop, who works as a mechanic at Kwik-Fit in Thornbury, has now sent friends a message from BRI through social website Facebook saying: “The next time I’m under a Range Rover’s wheels I want to be working on them, not wearing them.”
