Civil Guard arrests 32-year-old driver after hit-and-run on Inca highway

In the early hours of a September morning, a Civil Guard unit arrested a 32-year-old man suspected of causing a serious traffic crash and then fleeing the scene. The incident unfolded on the Inca highway, about 1.2 kilometers away from the Ma13 junction, in the direction toward Palma. The suspect was behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta when he allegedly closed the gap with a vehicle ahead of him and collided with it from the rear. The impact was forceful enough to overturn the other car, sending it skidding along the roadway and resulting in substantial damage to both vehicles. After the collision, the driver of the Fiesta did not stop to assist or check on anyone involved; instead, he continued driving, leaving the scene on foot and abandoning his vehicle. The passenger vehicle involved in the crash carried a woman who sustained injuries as a direct consequence of the collision, and she required immediate medical attention at the scene. In the wake of the crash, responders and witnesses assisted until authorities arrived and began securing the area and providing aid to the injured party. The event compelled bystanders to render aid and call for medical personnel while the Civil Guard set up a temporary perimeter to manage the scene and preserve evidence for investigation. The driver who fled the scene was later located as information gathered during the initial hours of the investigation started to point toward him. The arrested man was transported to a medical facility for evaluation, while police continued to document the scene and gather statements from witnesses and first responders. The investigation proceeded with standard procedures, including the collection of evidence from the incident location and the verification of the driver’s identity. A preliminary toxicology test conducted on the suspect yielded positive results for drugs, and a separate assessment indicated intoxication. Authorities confirmed that the driver admitted responsibility for being behind the wheel of the vehicle that fled the scene, and the case moved forward with formal charges being considered as the inquiry unfolded. The individuals involved remained under observation as the investigation advanced, with additional steps planned to determine the full sequence of events, confirm the conditions of the vehicles, and evaluate the harm caused by the crash to determine the appropriate legal response.
