Overview
- Heavy morning rain, wind and hail triggered multiple road incidents across Greater Mendoza and mountain corridors.
- On Acceso Este in Guaymallén, a 26-year-old driver hit a road sign and rolled her car into an irrigation ditch, sustaining injuries but testing negative for alcohol.
- A crash on Acceso Sur in Godoy Cruz involving a car, a pickup and a motorcycle left the motorcyclist on the pavement for about an hour before an ambulance arrived and reduced lanes slowed traffic.
- Near Horcones on the route to Chile, a collision between Argentine and Chilean vehicles left the Argentine driver dead, and a separate jackknifed truck briefly blocked the roadway.
- Authorities kept the Cristo Redentor tunnel closed as a preventive measure with a possible reopening around 14:00 if conditions improve, and the public opening of Laguna del Diamante was postponed due to snow.
