A two-year-old girl died last Friday, May 30th, after being hit by a car on Calle 9 de Octubre in Ibi, between La Paz and Juan Carlos I streets. The unfortunate occurrence occurred approximately 7:00 p.m., when the young child was struck while crossing the street under circumstances that are still being investigated.
According to sources, the minor was initially transferred to the municipal health centre, where the Emergency Medical Services (SAMU) team was already waiting to evacuate her to Alicante General Hospital. Despite medical efforts, the injuries she endured were deadly, and the girl died soon after.
The Local Police are investigating
Authorities have launched an inquiry to identify the cause of the disaster. Witnesses indicate that the girl was at a childcare centre with a relative just before the disaster occurred.
The Ibi Local Police have released a statement claiming that they are already working to determine what occurred. In the same message, the police force extended its sympathies to the victim’s family and requested “caution and respect in the dissemination of unverified information,” emphasising that any fresh information would only be conveyed through official means.
