Video Deepens Probe of Argentine Police Chief in Fatal Crash as Mexico Hunts Iztapalapa Hit-and-Run Driver and Buenos Aires Pursuit Turns Deadly

Video evidence now anchors the reconstructions that are driving charging decisions.

Overview

  • The Luján case added roadway camera footage to the court file that shows a lane crossing before the head‑on impact; Federal Police unit chief Gastón Maximiliano Montepeloso is charged with aggravated manslaughter, tested 0.48 g/L, was released under conditions, and was placed on availability.
  • A police pursuit in San Telmo ended when a motorcycle without a plate struck a taxi that then mounted the sidewalk, killing a pedestrian; the rider was detained and carried a license plate reported stolen.
  • In Mexico City, Roberto Hernández was buried as authorities confirmed the case as vehicular manslaughter, secured the car in Nezahualcóyotl, and continued the search for the suspected driver, who has not been detained.
  • Surveillance video from Tigre shows a car entering a roundabout at speed, sliding about 50 meters on its side and overturning; two people were injured and the driver’s alcohol test was negative.
  • In Mendoza, Nicolás Varas died after being run over and dragged, and prosecutors reclassified charges against the detained couple to aggravated homicide pending a preventive detention hearing.
