Two minors
who were traveling this Friday afternoon on
a motorcycle without the company of an adult
with the aim of making some purchases for their family lost control of the vehicle and fell violently to the ground.
As a result of the accident, the brothers suffered
blows to their heads and remained hospitalized
in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Neuquén.
The accident occurred shortly before 2 p.m. on a gravel street that is not compacted, in the Monte Hermoso neighborhood of Cutral Co. They were traveling there aboard
a cross-type unit, measuring 125 cubic centimeters
.
According to local media, the oldest, 10 years old, was driving, while the youngest, between 8 and 9, accompanied.
“They were driving.
Their family sent them on an errand.
They were going to buy bread
.
On the journey, it was added that the street is sandy and the motorcycle is high.
As a result of the fall, they both hit their heads.
They have serious head injuries," Deputy Commissioner Roberto Sergio Álvarez, in charge of the Plaza Huincul Traffic Division, told La Mañana de Neuquén.
After the request for help was submitted to the Radioelectric Command, the authorities approached the scene, but due to the
severity of the injuries
, the boys had already been transferred by ambulance to the hospital in that city, located on the side of Route 22. just over 100 kilometers from the provincial capital.
Then, they were referred to the Castro Rendón hospital, in the city of Neuquén, to receive more complex care.
Álvarez specified that
they were without helmets
and ruled out that another vehicle was involved in the accident.
“The traffic there is almost zero,” he explained.
The children were traveling along a gravel street in Cutral Co on a 125 cubic centimeter cross-country motorcycle.
According to that same medium, the Police requested a medical follow-up to know the health status of the two minors.
Friends and people close to the family asked for chains of prayers on Friday night on social networks to ask for the children's health.
