It was 3:50 pm and "Nacho" was returning from a work meeting to his father's house to watch Boca-River on TV.
He was a hairdresser and, in addition to being a partner in a barbershop in Villa Ballester, he added extra income by attending home.
Sunday's traffic was calm: he crossed Balbín Avenue, in San Martín, on top of his motorcycle, but in seconds he ended up in the air, hit by a patrol car that crossed the red light.
Shortly after he died.
Ignacio Yustos was 21 years old and in the Harlem Barber Club he is remembered as "
a great person, with a great future ahead of him
."
The day before, he had visited his grandfather Pedro to cut his hair.
"They broke everything," the man lamented in a traffic court organized by friends and family this Monday morning to demand justice.
"He threw it against the Chinin ice cream parlor and
he broke everything
, he
brained
it
," said Pedro while Ignacio's mother met with the prosecutor Ana De Leo to learn about the progress in the investigation.
While World Road Safety Week begins to raise awareness about deaths at the wheel, officer Agustina Gutiérrez (24) crossed a red light in the Ford Ranger van of the Buenos Aires Police in the middle of
an alleged escort operation for an ambulance
.
"They had been lost. The ambulance turned into Tres de Febrero Street, two blocks before Pueyrredón, and I don't know, it is clear that they wanted to reach it. They continued straight (through Balbín), they realized that they lost it and, as the traffic light was red, they accelerated.
They were coming wrong, I don't know how fast they were coming. My grandson crossed on green and they hit him,
"the victim's grandfather tried to explain.
And he warned: "
There was no mermaid, they did not come with the mermaid.
Nacho, my grandson, was 21 years old, he worked from the house to the hairdresser, from the hairdresser to the house. He made cuts at home. It was beautiful, I have no words for define what my grandson was. "
Ignacio Yustos (21), the hairdresser who died when he was run over by a patrol car that crossed in red in San Martín.
Ignacio was riding his motorcycle, a blue Zanella, and despite wearing his protective helmet and barely picking up speed at the crossing, the speed of the patrol car was such that he fractured his skull with detachment of a brain mass. .
He was urgently referred to the Eva Perón Interzonal General Hospital for Acute People (formerly Castex), about 11 blocks from the scene of the incident.
However, the injuries were so severe that he died before arriving.
According to the account of Officer Gutiérrez, who was accompanied by Officer Claudio Vázquez, they had accelerated to open the way for the ambulance they were escorting but, with the images from the security cameras, it was confirmed that
neither before nor after the accident the ambulance went through this junction
.
The protocol in these cases is clear: police patrols must use sirens and brake at corners to ensure that no one is circulating when they intend to cross, whether in an emergency or not.
According to the investigation, they only went with the beacons on, not with the sirens.
Father's pain
"We want justice to be done for my son, who was a hard-working and strong kid and a good son," said "Nacho's" father, Juan Yustos, on channel
C5N
.
He stated that his son had gone to buy "a little ice cream maker for a barber shop" and at the time of the event he was on his way to see the Boca-River superclassic with him and took him a bite.
“In the afternoon we were going to watch the game together.
It brought me a bite, which was left lying here, because of what they told me, "said Juan.
Ignacio Yustos (21) died this Sunday after a patrol car attacked him crossing a red traffic light.
“My brother was notified by the Police, they went to look for him at the house.
All the time they said that they were escorting the ambulance, but
three witnesses who stayed behind to help my nephew told us that this did not happen
.
And then it was verified with the video, you don't see what they say, "said Mónica Yustos, aunt and godmother of" Nacho, "in dialogue with
Clarín
.
“I don't know what they wanted to invent, what they wanted to do.
I only know that
in a second they took my nephew's life
.
We want justice for 'Nacho', we will continue until the last.
My brother and my sister-in-law are devastated, he was my only nephew, his only son, they are destroyed, "added the woman.
Ignacio worked as a hairdresser since he was 17 years old.
When he was run over, he was returning from Villa Ballester, from a friend's hairdresser, to talk with him because he
was going to add work to the morning
.
The investigation was in the hands of the prosecutor N ° 4 of San Martín, specialized in wrongful crimes, in charge of Ana De Leo.
Ignacio Yustos (21), the hairdresser who died when he was run over by a patrol car that crossed in red in San Martín.
Judicial sources confirmed to
Clarín
that De Leo asked the Court of Guarantees No. 1 to formalize the arrest of the officer, who has been under arrest since yesterday.
Thus, he will have to wait behind bars for the investigation to progress.
This Monday afternoon she will be investigated for the crime of "
aggravated manslaughter
", which provides for a sentence of five years in prison and special disqualification for five to ten years to drive.
Meanwhile, his partner, who had been detained during the first hours, testified as a witness in the case and no restrictive measure of his freedom will be taken against him.
