Although the causes are under investigation, it was confirmed that a Ford Ecosport vehicle was involved that was driving in the Montecarlo-Eldorado direction under the command of a resident of Garuhapé, and the 250-cylinder motorcycle driven by Jara, which caught fire after the impact .
Those involved were transferred to the Samic Hospital in Eldorado, where after being examined by the doctor on duty after 12:30 pm, Jara died due to severe trauma and type B burns on 72% of the body.
