A British woman has sadly been killed in Ibiza after being struck by an alleged drugged-up Irish driver, who reportedly mounted the pavement during a horrific incident that injured two other British women. One of the survivors remains in a critical condition in hospital, whilst the other has been described as stable. All three women, who were enjoying a holiday on the island, were struck at approximately eleven fifteen in the morning.

The driver of the Jeep Wrangler has been arrested and is suspected of consuming nitrous oxide prior to the crash. The San Jose Town Hall confirmed the arrest, stating the driver faces charges including reckless driving and manslaughter due to gross negligence. Investigators plan to extract data from the vehicle’s control unit to collect more evidence about the driving activity at the time of the incident.

Witnesses described the scene as horrific, with one restaurant worker recounting hearing a loud bang and witnessing the dramatic fallout of the collision. A local newspaper reported that the victims were left scattered on the road, with two of them in serious distress. Tributes in the form of flowers have been placed at the scene of the tragedy to honour the deceased woman.

Authorities are continuing to work in close coordination with the Civil Guard and emergency services as they gather information regarding the incident. The driver, believed to be thirty years old, has spent the night in custody and is expected to face court proceedings shortly. It remains unclear whether he was residing on the island or simply a tourist.
