Overview
- A series of separate traffic incidents over the weekend left several people dead and others seriously injured across provinces including Neuquén, Buenos Aires and Mendoza.
- In Neuquén a 30‑year‑old woman died when her Renault Fluence overturned on RN237; her two‑year‑old was uninjured thanks to a child restraint and investigators are examining consecutive curves, a steep banquina and possible speed as causes.
- In Temperley a driver for Línea 527 died after his empty bus lost control and crashed into the front of a house, witnesses said the vehicle was traveling at high speed and local police opened an investigation into the cause.
- Mendoza recorded two deadly crashes: a frontal collision on RN143 in San Rafael killed an 18‑year‑old motorcyclist and hospitalized two others, and in Lavalle a custodio who serves the vice‑governor was involved in a crash that killed a 24‑year‑old motorcyclist, prompting Hebe Casado to offer full cooperation with the justice system.
- Authorities continue pericial work at each scene while legal follow‑up advances: national deputy Aldo Leiva was uninjured after a collision on RN11 and both drivers tested 0.00 g/L for alcohol, and the 2022 General Belgrano crash involving Eduardo Owen Cavanagh will go to oral trial on September 16–17 after families rejected a proposed plea deal.
