Four Killed, One Injured in Head-On Crash on Route 12 Near Ituzaingó

Investigators are probing a suspected failed overtake on a corridor long criticized for dangerous passing conditions.

Overview

  • The collision between a Toyota Hilux and a Ford Ranger occurred around 8:10 a.m. at kilometer 1304 of National Route 12 between Ituzaingó and Posadas.
  • The Ford Ranger burned after the impact, and its occupants, Dante Adrián Guerrero and Lucas Sarchetti, were found deceased inside the vehicle.
  • Two passengers in the Hilux, Amel Raúl Ale López, 32, and María Hebe López Beristain, 59, died at the scene, and a 27-year-old relative was hospitalized and is out of immediate danger.
  • Witnesses reported that one pickup attempted to pass a truck with no visible signs of braking before the head-on impact, and some suggested sun glare may have contributed, though the cause remains under investigation.
  • Traffic was fully closed for hours and reopened near 5 p.m. after forensic work and vehicle removal, with Comisaría Segunda of Ituzaingó and the local Fiscalía leading the inquiry.
