Driver identification and intensive search
The Traffic Judicial Police team of the Valencia Local Police has managed to identify the owner and driver of the anthracite gray BMW 3 series that ran over a 7-year-old child on Hermanos Machado Avenue. The 22-year-old driver has numerous criminal records and is currently a fugitive.
Status of the minor and search for the driver
The child who was hit by a car remains hospitalized in a very serious condition, although his situation has stabilized in the last few hours. The driver, who fled the scene of the accident without stopping, could not be arrested because he is not at his usual address.
Vehicle search and citizen collaboration
The vehicle, a dark gray BMW 3 Series, has been identified thanks to accident investigation work and citizen collaboration. It is believed that the owner has hidden the vehicle in a garage, plot or warehouse owned by someone close to him.
Citizen collaboration and police appeal
The Local Police of Valencia has received more than 200 calls from citizens with relevant information to identify and arrest the driver. A call has been made to citizens to communicate any information related to the case through the contact telephone numbers.
Serious crimes and reconstruction of the facts
The driver faces three serious crimes: serious injuries due to recklessness, reckless driving and leaving the scene of the accident. Reconstruction of the way in which the accident occurred will be key to determining the criminal responsibility of the individual.
