Lima Suspends Serenata After Fatal Panamericana Sur Worksite Crash

City Hall halted the concert in mourning for two EMAPE workers killed in a pre-dawn Panamericana Sur crash.

Overview

  • Mayor Renzo Reggiardo ordered the suspension and instructed the municipal procurator to file a criminal complaint against the truck driver.
  • Preliminary reporting indicates the driver, identified as Edwin Willington Vega, may have fallen asleep and has prior violations, including a very serious 2024 infraction.
  • The victims were Jessica Corachahua Toledo and Wilfredo Rosales Mallma; Rosales died at the scene and Corachahua later at Hospital María Auxiliadora.
  • Eight additional workers were injured during maintenance operations at kilometer 17 in San Juan de Miraflores.
  • The municipality will announce a new date for the serenade through official channels, while protocol events and the Lima Corre 10K race proceed as scheduled.
