Overview
- A 527-line bus that was out of service and carrying no passengers lost control and struck the front of a house at Caaguazú and Dinamarca in Temperley on Sunday night, killing the driver at the scene.
- Private security footage released by local media shows the bus’s front lodged inside the home and is being treated by investigators as key evidence on the crash dynamics.
- The prosecutor’s office opened a judicial investigation that is exploring three main hypotheses: excessive speed reported by witnesses, a mechanical failure of the vehicle, or an unexpected health problem affecting the driver.
- Residents who were inside the house were celebrating a birthday and escaped serious harm after a brief movement; the homeowner’s husband suffered leg injuries from debris and a neighbor tried to free the trapped driver but could not save him.
- Families whose homes were damaged are awaiting a technical structural assessment to decide whether the properties are safe to occupy and the probe could lead to vehicle and operator inspections for the 527 line.
