Overview
- The case is classified as negligent injury and both the UTV and the Volkswagen Amarok are preserved for forensic tests to establish how the frontal collision occurred.
- Officials say the child remains under close monitoring in the ICU after procedures to control intra‑abdominal bleeding and a hepatic injury, with daily labs guiding care.
- Relatives issued a public call for blood donors of any type at the Pinamar hospital, and community members have responded throughout Wednesday.
- Other victims include two girls aged 7 and 9, one with a facial trauma and maxillary fracture transferred to Mar del Plata, and a 30‑year‑old man with facial injuries.
- Hours later, a UTV rollover in nearby Costa Esmeralda left a man hospitalized with a hip fracture, intensifying expert calls for tighter controls in the médanos described as highly dangerous.
