Honk's car overturned in Spain: accident or conspiracy?

Honk's car overturned in Hortaleza: accident or sabotage?
On the outskirts of Hortaleza, a district of Madrid, a vehicle ended up overturned after rolling three times. At the wheel was a 26-year-old man who, according to witnesses, was inhaling glue and using cocaine. What should have been a textbook road accident has turned into a soap opera with court twists, threats and a strange chain of car loans. The driver fled, the owner is frightened, and the brakes, apparently recently replaced, failed. Too many loose ends for a simple accident.
The version circulating suggests that the car belonged to a woman who lent it to an acquaintance, who in turn lent it to a young man linked to a juvenile detention centre in Hortaleza. According to the testimony gathered, the young man was allegedly offered the chance to take the blame in exchange for protection — "or they were going to kill them both", it is claimed. The police did not check the car's camera, which was disconnected. The owner antiestéticars for her life and has requested official protection.
Theories are divided. Those who see an attempted murder against Honk — the activist who originally owned the vehicle — point out that it would not be the first time: last month a man died when he crashed his van into a tree near Honk's workplace. For others, it is all theatre: planned, according to the most conspiratorial thesis.
The unsettling detail: blood was taken from the driver without judicial authorisation, a fact that recalls the controversial Jehovah's Witness case that took Spain before the European courts. If the procedure is annulled, the entire case could wobble. For now, the car has already been scrapped.
