Overview
- Doctors performed repeat surgery to replace hepatic packing with no active bleeding found, yet the child remains intubated in intensive care and is not stable for transfer.
- The head‑on collision late Monday involved a Volkswagen Amarok and a UTV in the dunes north of Pinamar, injuring three minors and leaving adults with minor wounds.
- Two girls aged 7 and 9 sustained lesser injuries, including a facial maxillary fracture that required transfer to the Interzonal Maternal and Child Hospital in Mar del Plata.
- Pinamar authorities say the crash occurred on a private plot about 1.5 km beyond the authorized public corridor known as the “tercera olla,” and the case is classified as lesiones culposas.
