  "account": "A high-speed car crash in Marbella caused a vehicle to soar through the air before crashing into a residential building. The incident occurred in central Marbella on Friday evening near the junction of Calle Jacinto Benavente and Calle Valentuñana. The speeding car failed to navigate a small roundabout, striking a large planted pot and soaring roughly four meters into the air. It then ripped through a mature palm tree, narrowly avoided a bus shelter, and ultimately smashed into the front of an apartment complex known as Edificio Ami. The vehicle came to rest upside down against the building's façade, but the structure suffered minimal damage. Emergency services arrived swiftly, cordoning off the area and using a crane to lift the severely damaged SUV away from the building. No fatalities have been confirmed, though serious injuries were a real possibility. Witnesses described the event as extraordinary, noting the car's flight after hitting the roundabout and subsequent collisions with vegetation, street decorations, and the palm tree before striking the building. This event is part of a series of high-profile accidents in Marbella, including a head-on collision on the A-7 motorway in May and a collapse of balcony slabs in June. Local authorities are monitoring road safety in both urban areas and the surrounding motorways. Residents expressed relief that no one died, and investigators will examine factors such as the driver's speed, the condition of the roundabout, and other contributing elements.",
