Overview
- The Dec. 24 collision occurred on BR-290 in Rosário do Sul when the family's Fiat Cronos struck a Mercedes Benz 1620 truck, according to local reports.
- Mariángeles “Nani” Vallejo, 33, suffered multiple fractures and requires surgery, and her son sustained a head injury and is stable under observation.
- Both patients are being treated in separate hospitals in Rio Grande do Sul as doctors weigh the timing and safety of any transfer.
- Relatives report they have been unable to secure a ground ambulance to Argentina and now view an air ambulance as the only viable option despite its high cost.
- The family cites a hospital debt around 2.5 million pesos and is fundraising through Mercado Pago (alias: julinani.mp, account of Marcos Nicolás Vallejo) to cover care and a potential medical flight.
