The truck hit the taxi from behind, which ended up overturned / the day
Around six in the afternoon yesterday, at diagonal 74, at the height of the Aeroclub, in Ensenada, a serious traffic accident was recorded, which led to an important deployment of several rescue teams.
According to what this newspaper was able to find out from sources in the case, for reasons that are still being determined, a Ford Ranger truck hit a taxi by reach, which rammed a lighting column and ended up overturned.
In the rental car, it was indicated, a passenger was traveling, who suffered multiple injuries of various kinds.
“He said he felt a lot of pain in his chest and legs,” said the director of Security for the neighboring city, Martín Slobodián, who was present at the scene.
“Firefighters had to cut through the roof of the taxi to get it out. It was quite a complicated task,” he added.
In the midst of the tension caused by the incident, it was said that the taxi driver, as soon as he was able to get out of the passenger compartment, walked a few meters obfuscated to where the truck was and presumably grabbed the driver, who also ended up hospitalized, but more because of that reaction, than for the consequences of the accident.
In addition to the firefighters, agents from the local Patrol Command, from the second police station, the Scientific Police and a SAME ambulance, which referred the injured to the Cestino hospital, participated in the operation.
Precisely, based on the tasks of the experts in road accidentology, those responsible for the Culpable Crimes UFI in La Plata will be the ones who will define the criminal responsibilities of the case.
It is speculated that sudden braking, a distraction or the speeding itself, among other factors, could have had an impact on the violent crash.
