Overview

• Early Monday, a Peugeot Boxer ambulance and a Volkswagen Vento struck a stray cow on Route 11 at km 693.5 in Margarita, killing the animal and triggering a fiscal probe to identify its owner.
• Weekend incidents also included a Fiat Toro family collision with a cow on Route 89 at Chinchillal, a motorcycle crash injuring two riders at Avenida Aguirre and Pedro León Gallo and a family of three falling after sliding on an apparent fuel spill at Libertad and Aguirre.
• Emergency services from SEASE, local police units, DGSR ’Los Pumas’ and Criminalística responded to each scene, clearing hazards and conducting forensic inspections.
• All victims were evaluated and most transferred for preventive medical checks, with officials reporting no serious injuries among ambulance occupants.
• The spate of collisions has reignited calls for stronger livestock containment measures, improved fencing, regular patrols and stricter enforcement of owner liability on provincial routes.
