This is the first picture of the driver who police say ran over and killed a five-month-old British baby and mowed down her family on Lanzarote.
Olivia Brown, 23, is due to be charged when she appears in court tomorrow.
She Was Drunk
Police on the island said that they believe Brown was over the legal limit for alcohol when her ‘out of control’ car mounted the pavement and slammed into the family.
As it is
She is currently under house arrest and could be jailed for causing the death of the new-born baby.
Brown lives on the island with her parents and is understood to work at a hotel in the resort of Playa Blanca where the accident took place.
Her social media shows scenes of sunset on the island, posing in front of palm trees and with her mother.
The Brown family are thought to have lived on the island for several years.
The identity of the British family involved in the horrific accident has not been revealed. They were due to leave the island on Sunday, according to police.
Number of Injuries
The baby’s parents and grandparents were also injured in the accident around 6.30pm on Sunday. The father is said to be in a critical condition in a local hospital.
A Swedish mother and daughter were also injured by the Ford Fiesta which eyewitnesses have told police was speeding and made no attempt to slow down before mounting the pavement.

The couple had only been in Lanzarote for three hours and were walking back to their hotel when they were struck.
The Police chief said: ‘The investigation is still on going and could be another week. The driver will appear in court but I cannot say yet what the charges will be.
