A terrible incident has shaken Granada: An illegal Moroccan immigrant, without a valid driver’s license, allegedly ran over a two-year-old boy with a motocross motorcycle. The 18-year-old was immediately arrested and taken into pre-trial detention. The accident occurred in the north of the Spanish city.
The Fatal Events of June 7th
The incident, which took place on June 7th around 10:00 PM, highlights the dangers of illegal motorcycle riding. The 18-year-old Moroccan had previously been registered as an unaccompanied foreign minor (Mena). However, upon reaching adulthood, he had failed to legalize his residence status in Spain.
The two-year-old victim suffered a deep laceration to his face and had to be immediately treated in a hospital. The boy’s mother reported the incident to the National Police, stating that residents had repeatedly warned the young man throughout the afternoon about his reckless driving – including high speed and wheelies.
Dramatic Seconds on the Sidewalk
The young boy was with his mother at the time of the accident. Tragically, he was run over after his mother had briefly set him down on the sidewalk. The impact was so severe that the boy was thrown several meters through the air. The consequences of the accident are serious: the minor suffered an open wound extending from his mouth to his ear. He had to be immediately evacuated to a medical center for treatment.
Investigations are ongoing to clarify all circumstances of this tragic accident in Granada
