When the weather changed, he decided to go back to his house in Merlo and ask for a patch.

On the way back, a tree fell and killed him.

Héctor Javier González Lizárraga

, he was 30 years old and currently made a living working in a greengrocer in the City of Buenos Aires.

His son was

miraculously

saved

.

The tragedy occurred on the last Friday, April 23, around 7:00 p.m. on Nicaragua Street, in the town of

Libertad

, and Hector's relatives are in pain.

In dialogue with

, Micaela, the mother of Héctor's son, described what happened seconds before the tragedy.

"The storm

cut some cables

from a light pole, made sparks and then Hector manages to come out on the right, for fear of the rays produced by the pole," said the woman.

It was at that moment that the tree crushed father and son.

According to Micaela, Héctor "

died on the spot

."

And he said that his son and father "were trapped."

had his father hugged,

as if protecting him," the mother described.

fractures of the tibia and fibula

.

cast
