He is thought to have been on his way to work at a local hotel.
The man continued driving to work, before calling his cousin for help and returning to the scene of the crash on the Cala Mesquida road.
As the man arrived at the scene with his relative, they found a watch, an arm and a leg within minutes, and called the police.
Cops rushed to the scene, but it took them two hours of intense searching to find the rest of the tourist’s body.
It was found trapped in bushes far from the road, and firefighters had to be called to free it from the undergrowth.
The driver had an anxiety attack at the scene and received treatment.
He tested positive for alcohol, police said, and officers arrested him at the side of the road.
The man is under investigation for manslaughter, failure to render aid, and driving under the influence of alcohol, police said.
Investigators said he may have been driving his Volkswagen Polo at high speed, as the body was found more than 330ft from where the arm was discovered.
