A 14-year-old girl has died following a hit-and-run incident in the town of Olivenza, located in the Badajoz province of Spain. The tragic event occurred on Friday night on Manuel Gómez Castaño street, where the minor was struck by a vehicle whose driver fled the scene immediately after the collision. Emergency services transported the victim to the University Hospital of Badajoz with severe multiple trauma and in critical condition, where she received initial medical attention at the accident site before being hospitalized.

The driver responsible for the incident surrendered to authorities the following day, according to official statements from the Olivenza town council. Police coordination between the Local Police and Civil Guard led to the identification of a vehicle parked nearby that showed damage consistent with the hit-and-run. This discovery enabled authorities to locate the individual believed to be involved in the accident, who subsequently presented himself voluntarily at police stations and acknowledged his involvement in the incident.

Medical authorities confirmed the girl's death on Sunday, with the Extremadura Health Service officially announcing the tragic outcome. The victim had been fighting for her life in critical condition at the University Hospital of Badajoz since the Friday night incident. The confirmation of her death came approximately 48 hours after the initial collision, ending hopes for her recovery despite medical efforts.

Authorities have confirmed that the driver was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. The individual now faces potential charges related to abandoning the scene of an accident. The case remains under investigation as authorities continue to gather evidence and determine the exact circumstances surrounding the fatal collision that has left the local community in mourning.
