When crews arrived, medical staff from the Medical Emergency System, or SEM, treated the man, who had severe injuries. He was then flown to hospital by the Firefighters' helicopter.
Begur Local Police and the Mossos d'Esquadra also took part in the response. The Mossos are Catalonia's regional police force.
