  "account": "A 21-year-old man has been apprehended in Dolores, Spain, on suspicion of attempting to murder two individuals by deliberately driving his car into them following a dispute. The Guardia Civil suspects the suspect intentionally targeted the victims in an act of revenge. The incident occurred early on September 13th in the city center of Dolores. Emergency responders were called to the scene after two people were struck by the vehicle. The car then veered onto the curb and crashed into a house, causing damage to the property. The driver then abandoned the vehicle nearby and fled the scene.\n\nInvestigators determined that the vehicle was traveling at an excessively high speed for the road conditions. They also found evidence indicating the driver had deliberately turned towards the victims before running them over. During the investigation, known as Operation Obtritio, officers from the Guardia Civil’s Dolores unit located the abandoned vehicle and analyzed the damage. This, combined with other evidence, allowed investigators to piece together the events leading up to the incident.\n\nAccording to police, the suspect and the two victims, aged 20 and 29, had an argument shortly before the attack. The driver allegedly responded to the conflict by driving recklessly, making a sudden turn and steering directly towards the two people before striking them with his vehicle. The two counts of attempted murder and one charge of reckless driving, showing blatant disregard for others' lives, are the charges the suspect is facing. The 21-year-old man was arrested in Dolores and is currently being investigated. He appeared before the Orihuela Court of First Instance, where he was released on bail pending further legal proceedings. Both victims received medical attention following the incident and are recovering at home. Their injuries are not life-threatening. The Guardia Civil announced the arrest on October 26th, following the investigation into the September incident.",
