The young people had attended the celebration of the first date of the sand safaria speed racing event organized by the Safari Association and Areneros Unidos in the municipal circuit located on kilometer 408 of Route 11. There, this Saturday, free and qualifying tests were held.

As a consequence, the motorcyclist suffered multiple fractures. Meanwhile, the other driver was arrested.

As in the current case of Jessica Mariana Alvarado, this accident was also recorded on a cell phone belonging to one of the witnesses. The images show the black Volkswagen Amarok advancing at full speed in the middle of a dive with two other trucks when suddenly a blue Yamaha motorcycle crosses its path, whose driver, a man named Gonzalo Rodríguez, was fired when he was hit. .
