A 30 year old British man has been arrested after hitting five pedestrians with his car and then driving off.
La Opinion de Málaga reports that the man was finally arrested on Sunday after allegedly hitting two women, a two year old baby boy and two babies aged five and thirteen months, as they were all crossing a zebra crossing at the junction of Avenida de los Reales and Avenida Andalucía. It happened at 1030am on Sunday morning with the driver accused of not respecting a red light.

The two adults and the other baby were allowed home on Sunday.
After the accident several witnesses made off in pursuit of the driver who was finally detained.
The accused man, named only with the initials D.A.J. will appear in court shortly.
