The Brown family is believed to have lived on the island for several years.
The identity of the British family involved in the horrific accident has not been revealed. According to the police, they were to leave the island on Sunday.
The baby’s parents and grandparents were also injured in the accident around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday. The father is said to be in critical condition at a local hospital.
A Swedish mother and daughter were also injured by the Ford Fiesta which, according to eyewitnesses, was speeding and made no attempt to slow down before taking the curb.
Yaiza municipal police chief Vladimir Guadalupe told MailOnline that the Swedish mother is in critical condition. She was flown from the island to an intensive care unit in Gran Canaria.
She said her heart stopped three times and she had to be revived.
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 last another week.” The driver will appear in court, but I cannot say yet what the charges will be.

He said: ‘The baby was lying on the floor and a blonde lady dressed in black was trying to revive him. The paramedics arrived immediately and treated the baby.
‘I offered to help them and some health workers asked me to keep the victims lying on the ground awake and to speak to them in English so that they would be conscious.
“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’s capital, Arrecife, feelings among locals were running high over the deadly accident.

‘It is very difficult to suffer an accident on the road where the terrible accident occurred.
‘When you see the impact that the vehicle had against the wall, it is very clear that it was moving at high speed. If he used alcohol and drugs while driving, he should go to prison for it.’
