Appeal to killer driver
By Gemma Elvins-Quinn and John Smith A British pedestrian was killed when he was hit by a car whose driver leapt out and fled from the scene. Robert Sneddon, who lived in Guardamar, was struck by a white Land Rover Discovery on the N332 at Guardamar del Segura on the Costa Blanca. The vehicle is UK-registered, according to the Guardia Civil. A second person involved was unhurt. Officers are now looking for the driver of the vehicle, registration number SK13 MWM, and have appealed for them to come forward. “Sooner rather than later
we will catch you. If you present yourself voluntarily, things will be better for you.” Mr Sneddon’s daughter, Mandy, took to social media in a bid to persuade the driver to come forward. “I am the daughter of the man left for dead on the N332 like an animal. I came on holiday for the summer so my little girl could spend time with her granddad. “It was the worst news I have ever had to break or hear. “If anyone knows anything or can think of anything relevant please tell the police. The smallest detail may help. To the person or people responsible, if you are reading this, please come
forward. You’ll have this on your conscience for the rest of your life. My dad’s rearranged face will haunt me for the rest of my life. My
family wants closure.” Anyone with any information should call the Torrevieja Traffic Department on 966 707 301.
