Rosario Teen Driver Hits Worker, Crashes Into House as Protocol Flags Breath Test

A judge opened a negligent-injury case, placing the 15-year-old in her mother's custody.

Overview

  • Police say the 15-year-old, who lacked a driver's license, struck a telecommunications worker near Ocampo and Constitución around 8 a.m.
  • The vehicle continued for a short distance, hit a street container at Ocampo and San Nicolás, mounted the sidewalk, and collided with the front of a house.
  • The injured worker was assisted by colleagues and transported by an ART ambulance to Sanatorio Mapaci for treatment.
  • Municipal traffic agents attempted multiple breathalyzer tests but reported the teen interrupted exhalation, which protocol treats as a positive result.
  • Judge Virginia Gaverana initiated a case for negligent injuries, ordered the minor identified and placed with her mother, and a man claiming to own the car told police it was taken without his consent, with local reports saying he may be her partner.
