Madrid, 25 mar (EFE TV).- Un joven de 17 años fue atropellado en el pueblo alicantino de La Nucía por un coche que conducía una pareja británica, y que se dió a la fuga tras el suceso. El choque tuvo lugar la noche del pasado viernes en la carretera de Alicante, cuando el menor que conducía un ciclomotor fue golpeado por un coche que lo arrastró a lo largo de dos kilómetros. La Policía Local logró identificar el automóvil por medio de las cámaras de reconocimiento de matrícula del Ayuntamiento de la localidad, por lo que el matrimonio fue detenido el pasado lunes y llevado a los calabozos de la Guardia Civil.

Una de las batallas que todo el público está esperando. Dos de los gallos más en forma de la semifinal de Alicante, Mister y Arkano, se encontraron en una genial batalla para decidir quién pasaba a al final.

Espectáculo en estado puro.
