Gustavo Sofovich Collides With Motorcycle in Palermo

Magistrate-ordered checks returned negative alcohol results with a 'lesiones' case now in the hands of the justice system.

Overview

  • The collision occurred early Tuesday morning at the intersection of Salguero and Martín Coronado when a Citroën DS4 driven by Gustavo Sofovich struck a Royal Enfield carrying two 23-year-old gastronomic workers.
  • Emergency crews from SAME treated the occupants and transported the female passenger to Hospital Rivadavia with injuries to her arm and a diagnosis of politraumatismos.
  • Police set a wide perimeter and an acting magistrate instructed on-scene procedures that included opening an investigation for 'lesiones' and ordering breath tests for both drivers.
  • Sofovich remained inside his car for more than two hours and gave a radio interview from the vehicle before submitting to the alcoholemia test, which returned negative for both drivers.
  • After signing the records the parties were allowed to leave and the judicial file remains open so prosecutors can determine responsibility while media attention continues because of Sofovich's public profile.
