A 13-year-old boy was killed after part of a fountain collapsed in Salamanca province, northwestern Spain, during the country's World Cup victory celebrations.

Two other young people were injured, emergency services told the BBC, including one child who was taken to hospital with a possible broken bone in his leg.

Youth were celebrating Spain's victory inside the Árbol Gordo fountain in Salamanca's Ciudad Rodrigo, when it partially collapsed around 00:30 local time (23:30 BST).

"What was supposed to be a celebration for the victory in the Spanish National Football Team's World Cup has turned into a tragedy," Ciudad Rodrigo's town hall posted on social media.

Emergency services for Castilla y León said it had received several calls about the collapse of the fountain. Part of the structure gave way after several people climbed on it to celebrate Spain's win, local media reported.

The city's council said it "hopes for a speedy recovery of the others who have been affected by the incident".

Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in the World Cup final on Sunday after Ferran Torres scored in extra time.

It is the country's second ever World Cup win, after their last victory in 2010.
