This is the first photo of the driver who police say hit and killed a five-month-old British baby and mowed down her family in Lanzarote.
Olivia Brown, 23, will be charged when she appears in court tomorrow.
Police on the island told MailOnline they believe Brown was over the legal limit for alcohol when her ‘out of control’ car mounted the pavement and crashed into the family.
She is currently under house arrest and could face jail time for causing the newborn baby’s death.
Brown lives on the island with her parents and is believed to be working at a hotel in the resort of Playa Blanca where the accident occurred.

Her social media shows scenes of sunset on the island, posing in front of palm trees and with her mother.
It is believed that the Brown family has lived on the island for several years.
The identity of the British family involved in the horrific accident has not been released. According to the police, they would leave the island on Sunday.
The baby’s parents and grandparents were also injured in the accident around 6:30 PM on Sunday. The father is in critical condition at a local hospital.
A Swedish mother and daughter were also injured by the Ford Fiesta, which eyewitnesses said police were speeding and made no attempt to slow down before hitting the sidewalk.
Vladimir Guadalupe, head of the Yaiza municipal police, told MailOnline that the Swedish mother is in critical condition. She was transferred from the island to an intensive care unit in Gran Canaria.
He said her heart stopped three times and she had to be resuscitated.
The couple had only been in Lanzarote for three hours and were walking back to their hotel when they were hit.
The police chief said: “The investigation is still ongoing and could take another week. The driver will appear in court, but I cannot yet say what the charges will be.

Those in attendance included first responders who attended the two minutes of silence
“The legal limit for alcohol is 0.25 and this person has exceeded that limit and the charges will reflect that.”
The newborn’s death has shocked the island – a popular winter sun destination with British tourists – and Mayor Osca Noda has declared two days of mourning, with flags flying at half-mast.
More than thirty people led by the mayor, including emergency responders who were the first on the scene, took part in a solemn minute of silence outside the town hall.
Mayor Noda said the baby’s death had a huge impact on local residents.
‘We are saddened by such a tragic accident. This is something that has not happened here and people are very shocked,” he said.
‘We are doing everything we can to support the family who are still in hospital.
Adil De Toro, a local doctor on the island, was among the town hall staff who took part in the minute’s silence.

He described how, in the aftermath of the incident, he and others rushed to the scene to provide whatever assistance they could.
He said: ‘The government has called this meeting to make clear how rare and sad this event is.
‘These things never happen here. It has influenced the opinion of the island. The police must investigate what exactly happened while she is under house arrest.
‘I ran to the scene after the accident to see if they needed help. A team of ambulances was working to escort all the injured. It was horrible.’
Hotel director Miguel Angel Sordo told how he was walking away from the HL Rio Playa Blanca hotel when he heard piercing screams from passers-by who had witnessed the tragedy.
He said the baby’s mother desperately tried to revive the baby boy.
A five-month-old baby was killed and several others injured after he was mowed down by a car that drove onto the sidewalk in Lanzarote’s tourist resort of Playa Blanca.

He said: ‘The baby was on the floor and a blonde lady dressed in black tried to revive him. The health workers arrived immediately and cared for the baby.
“I offered to help them and some health workers asked me to keep the victims lying on the ground awake and talk to them in English so that they would regain consciousness.
“Then more paramedics arrived and, along with the rest, took care of all the injured.”
While Brown has yet to appear in court in the island capital Arrecife, feelings were running high among locals over the fatal accident.

One man, who preferred to remain anonymous, suggested the island’s view is that she should become an “example” if she is guilty.
He said: “The whole island is very upset and shocked by this incident, we want an example to be set.
“The road where the terrible accident happened is very difficult to have an accident.
“When you see the impact the vehicle had on the wall, it is very clear that she was moving at high speed. If she was drinking and taking drugs while driving, she would have to go to jail for it.”
