The 17-year-old Norwegian girl who went missing early on Monday morning in the Puerto Banús area of Marbella and died two hours later in a hit-and-run on the A-7 motorway near Mijas, had requested a ride-hailing service and asked the driver to drop her off at the spot where the accident occurred.

The accident happened at approximately 5.20am during a night out. A friend of the victim's went to the toilet between 3am and 4am and, when she returned, the girl was no longer there. Some of their other friends, however, had helped her call a ride.

The exact time she got into the ride-hailing vehicle is unknown, although the distance between the starting point (near a nightclub in Puerto Banús) and the site of the accident is almost 30 kilometres or a half-hour drive.
