(CNN) -
At least 7 dead and 33 injured is the balance left by a spectacular accident registered this Tuesday in Colombia, in a tunnel that connects two municipalities in the departments of Tolima and Quindío.
"Apparently a tractor-trailer ran out of brakes and collided with more than 15 vehicles," said Andersson Arana, head of the Tolima department's Transit and Transportation Section, in a video shared with local media.
The incident occurred in the Los Venados tunnel, which connects the towns of Cajamarca, Tolima department, with Calarcá, Quindío department, part of the so-called La Línea complex, inaugurated a few months ago.
Arana reported that the injured people were referred to hospitals in Ibagué, Cajamarca and Armenia.
He ended by saying that the investigations into the event are in full swing.
