A 37-year-old man was driving a car accompanied by his family on National Route 7. He evaded a police checkpoint located near San Andrés de Giles.

After the evasion, at a toll, a patrol car began to chase him. The Chevrolet Astra lost control, crossed the central border of the highway and collided with a Nissan SUW truck, which was traveling in the opposite lane. The four crew members of the Astra died, including a 7- year-old girl and a 5-month-old baby. The baby died after entering the hospital while the girl and her mother were left in intensive care.
