Man arrested in Dolores over alleged deliberate hit-and-run after an argument
The victims, aged 20 and 29, received medical attention and are recovering at home; the suspect was released pending further proceedings.
The Guardia Civil arrested a 21-year-old man over the alleged deliberate running-down of two people in Dolores. The incident took place in the early hours of 13 September on a street in the town centre. The victims, aged 20 and 29, received medical attention and are recovering at home. According to the Guardia Civil, their lives are not in danger.
The investigation, named Operation Obtritio, suggests the incident followed an argument. The driver allegedly travelled at an unsuitable speed for the road and turned sharply towards the two people. The car then hit a kerb and the façade of a house. The driver allegedly fled, leaving the vehicle nearby.
The Guardia Civil’s Dolores Investigation Unit examined the damage to the car and reconstructed the manoeuvre to identify the driver and establish what happened.
The man is suspected of two offences of attempted homicide and a further offence of dangerous driving with manifest disregard for the lives of others. After appearing before the Investigating Section of the Court of Instance in Orihuela, he was released pending further proceedings, according to the Guardia Civil. The investigation and legal classification of the alleged offences are matters for the judicial process; the suspect retains the presumption of innocence.
