La Justicia investiga el trágico hecho (Gentileza La Capital).

Overview

  • The pre-dawn rollover near Ingeniero Maschwitz broke the central guardrail and left the vehicle spanning both carriageways.
  • Firefighters, AUSOL personnel and two tow cranes worked to contain an edible-oil spill that made the surface extremely slippery.
  • A small fire was reported in the cabin, and responders applied absorbent material before attempting full removal of the truck.
  • The driver exited the cab on his own, was reported out of danger, and was transported by SAME Escobar to the UDP in Garín.
  • Causes remain under review; separately, Peru’s PNP is investigating a Dec. 1 Villacurí crash that gravely injured Ayrton Villegas Rubio during a crane tow, and a Route 66 chain collision in Jujuy resulted only in material damage with negative alcohol tests.
