She insisted that she was no longer under the influence on the morning of the accident. She had taken her children to school and had stopped at a bakery. On the Inca-Muro road, she saw the cyclist on the shoulder and moved out to pass her and give her space, without entering the opposite lane. She stated that the cyclist made an unexpected turn to the left and crossed her path.
She tested positive for marijuana and amphetamines in the initial test and has requested a contrast test. The Guardia Civil report states that the woman did not present symptoms of being under the influence of any substance. She was cooperative, she expressed herself clearly and logically, her movements and coordination were normal and she did not present pupil dilation. The officers suggested that there was no influence of toxic substances.
There are no cameras on the road in question. But there was a witness, a health worker who was driving in the opposite direction and who provided first aid. The driver was unharmed but in a state of shock and was treated at hospital.
Four-year-old Ainoa died later on Wednesday. On Thursday, it was erroneously reported that her mother had died. This came from sources in Llubi and not from Son Espases. On Friday afternoon, the hospital did announce that the mother had died.

Now is not the time to play the blame game, what happened was an absolute tragedy and this should be foremost in people's minds. Their family and friends have lost a wonderful mother and a sweet little girl. Deylin (or Dey, as she was known) was a lovely woman, always very friendly - she worked in my local supermarket so I saw her regularly. Now she has joined her little angel. May they both rest in peace.
Stephen NivenI think you are misinterpreting what Adam is trying to say, ‘accident’ in the sense that it was perhaps the fault of no one if the poor woman cyclist did in fact suddenly cross the driver’s path. Only the police can determine what really happened after interviewing the witness and once the contrast test results are in; we who didn't witness it should not be the judges. Extremely sad whatever the result of the investigation.
Adam OstenfeldIt WAS!!! A 4yo child died!
This could have been a very Sad and unfortunate accident and it is completely wrong to go on a witch-hunt as a result of so many other cases resulting in Aquitals !
