The car on the roundabout, a few meters from the descent of the highway / the day
The image of the violent crash at the roundabout, a few meters from the descent on the highway, depicts -inadvertently- possibly a sad reality in the Region that worries and alarms in recent times.
It is that behind the destroyed vehicle the welcome sign “La Plata, capital city” can be read, as if it had been left on purpose for the photo after the accident.
As this newspaper has been reporting, the numbers of traffic accidents are on the rise and this is also reflected in the fact that in the first week of January there were already five fatalities due to road incidents.
In this context, yesterday morning, a brutal accident occurred that miraculously did not end in tragedy. According to police sources, a young man lost control of his car when he entered La Plata and hit a tree at the Diagonal 74 and 120 roundabout at full speed.
The violent incident, which was recorded by security cameras, took place around 4:30 a.m. and the vehicle was almost completely destroyed.
The filming images confirmed that the blue Ford Fiesta continued on and by not stopping its march, it was embedded.
As a result of the coup, the 47-year-old driver, residing in Ensenada, suffered fractures in both legs, and blows to the chest and pelvis area, according to official sources.
It should also be noted that police officers and a SAME ambulance were present at the scene, which decided to transfer him to the San Martín Hospital due to the seriousness of the injuries.
At the scene were the remains of twisted metal and broken glass that surprised the neighbors in the early hours of yesterday.
THE ROUNDABOUT, SCENARIO
from another accident
As if that were not enough, hours after the terrible accident, an accident involving a truck also occurred at the roundabout.
The incident caused the spread of paint on the descent of the highway to Buenos Aires – La Plata, which led to the diversion of traffic, causing complications.
It also caused a man riding a motorcycle to fall onto the asphalt. On the other hand, numerous motorists who passed through the place at that time could not avoid the substance and had to regret that their cars ended up splashed and at risk of not being able to remove the paint stains.
As a result of what happened, the police officers who were part of the operation for the incident that occurred at dawn had to move a few meters to take control of the situation and try to order the vehicles to pass.
