A Brit tourist has died after being hit by a car on the Singaraja-Kintamani Highway in Bali
Cops arrested the driver, 54, after he fled the scene on the Singaraja-Kintamani Highway on November 2.
The motorist told police in Bali he carried on driving as he didn’t realise he had knocked the Brit off.
He said he had thought he had just “grazed” the holidaymaker after taking a turn too wide.
Head of Traffic Unit for Buleleng Police, AKP Bachtiar Arifin, said: “He thought he was just grazed, because he was positioned from the side.
“It didn’t feel like he had been hit, so he continued his journey towards Kintamani.”
The driver, named as Njoo Pin Tek, remains in custody as the investigation continues.
AKP Arifin added: “The case is being processed to resolve.”
The Brit’s family are now trying to repatriate his body back to the UK.
AKP Arifin said: “The British consulate is bridging the will of the victim’s family to resolve this case amicably.”
