Overview

• During a Sunday race at the Club Mitre oval in Colonia Dora, a rider lost control in a curve, triggering a brief chain collision captured on a spectator’s video.
• Lucas Subirats, a Perico, Jujuy native, was taken first to Hospital Colonia Dora and then to Hospital Zonal de Añatuya, where he died despite medical efforts.
• Authorities reported that at least five other competitors were injured and discharged later the same day.
• Social-media footage of the incident is circulating as the motorsport community in northwest Argentina mourns and Perico held a vigil and wake at Club Atlético Talleres.
• Local reporting noted Subirats had been suspended earlier this month by the Auto Club Perico disciplinary tribunal, a detail that could factor into event oversight reviews.
