Overview

• Security footage from Costanera Norte shows a VW Amarok stopping and then striking a VW Up twice, including reversing to gain speed before the second impact.
• The 18‑month‑old inside the smaller car was rescued and diagnosed with a skull fracture, and local reports say the child is under care without neurological compromise.
• Prosecutors charged Juan Cruz Peracca, 29, with intentional minor injuries aggravated by alevosía after reviewing the video evidence.
• A court had barred Peracca from contacting the other car’s occupants, and he was detained in Bouwer after violating that restriction.
• Judicial authorities ordered a forensic evaluation to determine his legal capacity, and his defense has not commented while the family’s lawyer urges a harsher charge.
