The crash was of high intensity, and due to the magnitude of the impact, several occupants of both vehicles suffered serious injuries. The injured were assisted by units of the National Emergency System 9-1-1, who transferred them to different health centers in the city to receive medical attention. Witnesses to the event indicated that excessive speed and recklessness when overtaking on a curve would have been the main causes of the accident, which once again brings into debate the need for greater caution at the wheel and preventive measures in dangerous sections.
