Deadly Andes Crash Attributed to SUV Driver as Peru Opens Police Inquiry and Appeal Follows Controversial Release

Investigations across the Andes intensify after a new wave of deadly road crashes.

Overview

  • Chilean SIAT evidence points to the SUV driver as likely responsible for the Autopista Los Andes head-on collision that killed two Argentines and one Chilean, with two minors still in serious condition.
  • A police internal probe was opened in Sullana, Piura, after a 13-year-old girl lost a leg in a triple crash and her family accused an escorting patrol of failing to provide immediate aid.
  • In Ventanilla, a judge released Berli Díaz Silva despite a prosecutorial request for nine months of preventive detention over a run-over that killed a four-year-old boy, and the decision was appealed.
  • In Buenos Aires, a Line 2 bus collided with a delivery van in Almagro, leaving at least 16 injured as emergency teams deployed multiple ambulances and secured the area.
  • Following the Route 60-CH fatalities in Chile, deputy Nelson Venegas pressed the public works ministry to advance urgent widening and safety improvements on the hazardous stretch.
