Tragedy in Ibiza as British woman dies after being hit by a car
A BRITISH woman has died after being hit by a car in Ibiza driven by a woman who failed a roadside drugs test.
Despite efforts by the paramedics the woman died at the scene of the crash
The victim, thought to be in her late 20s, was killed near a roundabout on the road linking the east coast resort of Santa Eularia and the hippy village of San Carlos.
She is understood to have been crossing the road when she was hit at around 6.20am.
Reports said emergency services found her naked when they reached the scene, although it was suggested she may have lost clothes due to the impact of the collision.
Paramedics could do nothing to save her and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the car that hit her was said to be Spanish.
She tested positive for cocaine and was taken to the island’s Can Misses hospital for a second more sensitive blood test.
Local reports said the Spaniard, thought to be aged around 30, had been on her way to work when she knocked down the unnamed British woman.
Cocaine was found in the woman's system
The British female was understood to have been crossing the road after leaving a nearby rental holiday home.
Last week a British holidaymaker was knocked down and killed on the neighbouring island of Majorca as she jogged with a friend.
She was named as Hillary Jennings, 62, a hospice worker from Bradley Stoke in south Gloucestershire.
The tragedy happened on the Ma-2220 road running along the Mediterranean between Alcudia and Puerto Pollensa in the north east of the island.
Two more holidaymakers recently died in car accidents while on holiday in the Mediterranean
On August 21, expat Scot Robert Sneddon, 61, was mowed down and killed by a hit-and-run driver near Guardamar del Segura on the Costa Blanca.
Police are still hunting the killer, who abandoned a British-plated Land Rover Discovery registered to a UK firm at the scene.
Robert’s family have launched a GoFundMe appeal to raise money towards his funeral expenses and costs.
