Avenida Pedro Mas y Reus (the Bellevue Mile) was closed this morning following an accident in which a 74-year-old man, a resident of the Siesta Apartments, was knocked down and killed by a car whose driver took the bridge along the road at high speed and seemingly lost control. The driver suffered only minor cuts. The incident occurred in broad daylight at around 10:30.
More on this fatal accident, but which confirms much of what was reported above. The driver was apparently in a worse state than was first said yesterday. This report says that the victim was launched some ten metres by the impact of the car that had first hit a stationary vehicle and which may have been lucky in preventing more pedestrians being hit.
