Family Says Injured Pinamar Boy Will Be Transferred to Mar del Plata for Surgery

Relatives say the anticipated third surgery in Pinamar was halted to move him to Mar del Plata’s HIEMI.

Overview

  • Family sources told La Nación the 8-year-old will be moved to a higher-complexity pediatric center in Mar del Plata for intervention, with transport details still being defined.
  • Earlier hospital reports said he was being prepared for a third procedure to remove hepatic packing and close the abdomen after slight clinical improvement.
  • Medical updates noted he had not needed blood transfusions recently and, since Wednesday, no vasoactive drugs to maintain blood pressure, though his condition remains critical in intensive care.
  • Both the Volkswagen Amarok and the UTV were seized for forensic examinations as investigators pursue a lesiones culposas case to determine responsibility.
  • Amarok driver Manuel Molinari issued a brief Instagram statement asking for prudence and prayers and expressing confidence in justice, while the boy’s mother rejected claims of racing and said neither her son nor his father was driving.
