A tragic traffic incident occurred on Tuesday night at the intersection of 27 de Febrero and Bartolomé Colón avenues in Santiago, where a 19-year-old young man and a teenager lost their lives. The young man was identified as Rolfi Stil Martínez Salcedo, a resident of the El Ejido sector, while the identity of the minor had not been established immediately.
According to preliminary versions, the young people were traveling in a pasola when they allegedly came into contact with a bus from route F, which caused them to fall onto the road. They were then hit by a garbage truck that was circulating in the area. The official investigation will confirm this sequence of events.
The authorities are investigating the circumstances in which both young people ended up on the road and were later hit by the garbage truck. They will also establish the participation of each of the involved vehicles and determine the exact circumstances that led the young people to fall from the pasola. At the time of the incident, the road was wet due to the rains recorded in Santiago, which could have influenced the incident.
Units of the National Emergency Response and Security System 9-1-1, police agents, and representatives of the competent authorities arrived at the scene to offer assistance and initiate the corresponding actions. The two young people lost their lives as a result of the injuries they suffered and were taken to the National Institute of Forensic Sciences (INACIF) in Santiago for the procedures established in these cases.
The driver of the garbage truck and his assistant remain under the custody of the authorities while the investigation process continues. So far, there has been no official determination of responsibilities. The investigation remains open to fully clarify what happened at the intersection of 27 de Febrero and Bartolomé Colón avenues and determine the corresponding responsibilities.
