A 79-year-old driver ran into three parked cars and then hit an oncoming one in Torrox on Avenida Esperanto at the beginning of March. He then fled the scene.

The Policia Local soon tracked him down and arrested him. Not only did this man from Nerja not have a driving licence nor car insurance, but he was also drink driving and had false British identity documents on him.

The man, who was three times over the limit when they breathalysed him, has a criminal record for child pornography, theft and belonging to a criminal organisation.
