Young British woman dies in Ibiza road accident
The victim, thought to be in her late 20s, was knocked down near a roundabout on the road linking the east coast resort of Santa Eularia and the hippy village of San Carlos, where she is understood to have rented a property.
It is believed that she was struck as she strayed into or attempted to cross the road. Emergency services found her naked when they arrived, but it has been suggested the force of the impact might have ripped off her clothes.
Local reports said the car driver, a Spanish woman in her 30s, tested positive for cocaine at the roadside. She was taken to hospital for a more accurate drugs test.
Investigators are trying to establish what the victim was doing on the road at 6.20am, although initial speculation has pointed to her returning to her accommodation after a night out.
Last Tuesday, another British holidaymaker was knocked down and killed on the neighbouring island of Majorca as she jogged with a friend.
She was named as Hillary Jennings, 62, a hospice worker from Bradley Stoke in south Gloucestershire.
The accident happened on the road between Alcudia and Puerto Pollensa in the north east of the island.
