Overview

  • An official Nissan Sentra carrying Bonacci and her father left Ruta 9 at km 196 near Ramallo on Wednesday morning and ended up off the roadway.
  • Both were taken to the Hospital de Ramallo for observation and are described as out of danger, while the driver was assisted and reportedly uninjured.
  • They were traveling to Buenos Aires for a congressional session that included Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos’s management report.
  • José Bonacci said the driver dozed off and cited possible sleep apnea and high-speed driving around 160 km/h, claims he says were raised in prior written complaints to Chamber leadership including Martín Menem.
  • Images circulated showing Bonacci with facial injuries and the car heavily damaged, and the family also questioned vehicle safety features, with some outlets noting expectations of a review of official transport protocols.
