Overview

• A refrigerated truck carrying beef fell from the Cañadita Alegre bridge on Guaymallén’s Acceso Este after a utility vehicle reportedly lost a front wheel and grazed the truck’s side.
• Neighbors, police, and emergency crews freed the trapped driver, and both drivers were treated for injuries that were not life-threatening.
• Police formed a security perimeter as dozens tried to take the spilled meat, dispersing the crowd with tear gas, with some witnesses reporting rubber bullets, and no serious injuries or arrests reported.
• Firefighters controlled a fuel leak and the area remained closed for hours while the vehicle was towed and the cargo was collected.
• All meat was seized and taken to the Corralitos slaughterhouse, where bromatological tests found it unfit for consumption due to cold-chain loss, and Police Rural and municipal authorities began reviewing transport documentation.
