a shocking
The crash had a tragic balance in the access to
Bariloche
by route 40:
three people died
when a utility truck collided head-on with the car of a mountain volunteer, early Monday morning.
As a consequence,
two of the passengers died immediately
, while a third died in the early hours of Tuesday after being admitted.
The crash occurred on Monday morning, in front of the access to the El Pilar I neighborhood, in the south of Bariloche.
According to police sources reported to local media,
they were traveling in a Renault Kangoo utility vehicle with three tourists who came from González Catán
, province of Buenos Aires.
For reasons that are still being investigated, he hit a Volkswagen Suran head-on.
According to the first tests, the hypothesis indicates that
the Suran probably crossed the lane
suddenly and rammed the Kangoo.
This was stated by the prosecutor on duty in Bariloche, Guillermo Lista, to the newspaper Rio Negro.
Lista commented that on the asphalt they found no signs of braking.
Therefore, they suspect that
the impact occurred in seconds.
Gustavo Ariel Luis Ybañez
, who was driving, and his companion,
Mariana Elizabeth Herrera
, were traveling in the Kangoo
.
The tourists were heading in the direction of Lake Gutiérrez.
The driver died instantly, while the woman died on her way to the operating room.
They were both 50 years old.
In the back seat was a direct relative of both, who was trapped between the irons and the chassis, forcing the firefighters to cut the remains of the car to remove them
.
The man was
admitted to the Ramón Carrillo
de Bariloche hospital, in serious condition.
On the other side, the driver of the Surán was able to be rescued alive from the place of impact, but he had a very serious condition.
That is why he passed away this Tuesday in the same hospital.
This third victim was identified as
23-year-old Gonzalo Beltrán
.
He was a volunteer at the Bariloche Military Mountain School and was on his way to the city.
"Thank you very much Gonza for defending and wearing our colors
, may you rest in peace. Goodbye," the La Cumbre Sports Club wrote on Facebook, where the guide played soccer.
"We send our condolences to the Flia Beltrán, acquaintances and friends of who Gonzalo was and that they manage to find resignation in the face of such an irreparable loss," they added.
