A British Resident in Nerja who was going the wrong way up a one way street at 3pm on Tuesday, has knocked a local councillor from Nerja Town Hall off her moped.
The councillor was heading to Maro on the old N340 and suddenly saw the car driven by the Briton coming towards her. She tried to avoid a collision, but was unable to do so and she was hit by the car which then headed off towards Nerja without stopping.
The British driver was followed, thanks to two National Policemen who were in Nerja on holiday, to his house in Calle Úbeda, where they advised the Local Police and waited for them to arrive.
The Local Police took over and breathalysed the Briton said to be in his 60’s who gave a positive result to the test.
The Councillor was taken the Axarquía District Hospital in Vélez Málaga, where she was attended to for cuts and bruises.
A statement from the Town Hall said ‘It is usual for the British residents to be ‘confused’ and when they leave their urbanisations, they drive into oncoming traffic’.
