Torres himself was the one who through social networks tried to "convey peace of mind" and assured that "the entire band, props, drivers, and others" are fine.
He added that it was "light blows" and that
it was "just a scare
. "
Sergio Torres left a message of "tranquility" on his social networks.
"We want to thank each of you for your concern, for your messages and calls. God was with us once again," he wrote.
The word of Sergio Torres' musicians: "We get it cheap"
“
We got it cheap
.
We were sleeping and the driver started shouting that the school wasn't stopping.
Arriving at the Zárate tollbooth he tried to stop it with the box, but he couldn't.
The only option was to hit the truck because if it turned to the side we could overturn, or if it hit something else it could be a worse misfortune," said one of the musicians, according to Aire Digital.
And he added: "On top of that, the door was stuck, inside
it was full of smoke and it almost started to catch fire
."
The Emergency Medical Service (SEMU), the Road Police, the Patrol Command, the Gendarmerie, the COZ and the Road Corridors went to the scene to secure the area, while an investigation is carried out to detect details of the accident.
