The Traffic Judicial Police team of the Valencia Local Police has identified a gray anthracite BMW Series 3 involved in a Sunday incident that left a seven-year-old child severely injured on Hermanos Machado Avenue at the intersection with Camino de Moncada. The left rearview mirror was shed during the collision, and at present the driver has not been detained because he is not at home. This update underscores the ongoing efforts to locate the responsible party and ensure accountability for the incident that disrupted a quiet neighborhood on a weekend afternoon.
The vehicle identification was achieved through meticulous analysis by the accident investigation unit and the cooperation of residents who quickly provided crucial details. The information available before the identification was limited to a few key characteristics: the vehicle was a BMW Series 3 painted in a dark gray shade and missing its left rearview mirror, which had fallen onto the roadway as the driver fled. The mishap occurred while a pedestrian crossing, with the child crossing on a green light at the Hermanos Machado crossing near the Camino de Moncada. The young victim, accompanied by his older brother who escaped injury, remains hospitalized in a state described as very serious after urgent surgical intervention. The injuries include fractures to both femurs, a serious head injury, chest trauma, and pelvic contusions. These details reflect the severity of the crash and the immediate medical response required for the child’s life and long-term prognosis. The investigation continues as authorities work with additional witnesses and review nearby surveillance to trace the path of the vehicle following the collision, with the aim of identifying the driver and understanding the events leading up to the accident.
