The Local Police of Alcúdia requests citizen collaboration to locate the driver of a black scooter who hit a minor on a pedestrian crossing last May 19. After the impact, the motorcyclist fled without providing assistance. The young girl was injured and taken to the hospital. Any witnesses with information should contact the police to identify the person responsible.
Cameras and social media as investigative tools 🚔
In cases like this, technology plays a key role. Security cameras from nearby businesses and recordings from vehicles with dashcams can provide data on the license plate or characteristics of the scooter. Additionally, dissemination on social media multiplies the reach of the search. The police recommend that residents review their devices and share the official alert to speed up the identification of the fugitive.
The fastest fugitive in Mallorca (at fleeing, not braking) 🛵💨
It seems this motorcyclist mistook the pedestrian crossing for a motocross track and, upon seeing the minor, decided the best course of action was to make an Olympic sprint instead of braking. Perhaps he thought that if he ran fast enough, the sense of responsibility wouldn't catch up with him. Too bad that, in the era of cameras, fleeing is as effective as trying to hide a black scooter on an empty road.
