Two women died and four other people were injured this Friday morning, as a result of the collision that occurred between two trucks in Floresta.
According to the witnesses and the first tests, the vehicle that caused the impact was traveling at high speed in a corner that has a sign that says "dangerous crossing."
Later it was reported that the driver, identified as Alejandro Castro,
tested positive for cocaine
and that he was driving with 0.27 grams of alcohol per liter of blood (the maximum allowed is 0.50).
The collision occurred around 3:30 a.m. at the intersection of Chivilcoy and César Díaz streets, a few meters from the Gregorio Pomar Sports Center.
It is a residential area, with little traffic, but with an intersection without a traffic light and where, according to the neighbors, the cars pick up speed, since there are several blocks where there are not even limiters.
There was the impact of a Renault Duster truck -which came by César Díaz- and a Ford Kuga.
Both ended up on the sidewalk, where they hit a tree and the latticework of a house.
The first testimonies indicate that the cause of the crash was the driver of the Ford Kuga, who was also hospitalized with injuries.
The vehicle ended up on the sidewalk with a strong impact on its trunk.
In the Renault Duster the blow is on the left side, more towards the rear door.
It is assumed that at least one of the two women who died was traveling on that side.
According to reports, one of the victims, Clarisa Zylberman, 54, was the driver's sister, who gave a negative breathalyzer test.
While the other would be a family friend, 43-year-old Julieta Rovea.
