Exercised questioned the Prosecutor’s Office
In that sense, he harshly questioned the decision of the Prosecutor’s Office to formalize charges against both drivers, both of the minor vehicle and the military transport, remaining with precautionary measures.

“All legal actions will be exercised to establish his total innocence in this unfortunate event, granting said official the legal defense that corresponds to him as such, when it occurred while he was in the act of service,” added the military institution.
The SIAT report
In this regard, deputy prosecutor, Enrique Fernández, indicated that the decision to formalize both drivers was made based on the report prepared by the Carabineros Traffic Accident Investigation Section (SIAT).
“SIAT personnel were able to conclude that the responsibility for this accident lay both with the driver of the military vehicle as well as that of the private vehicle, since the driver of the military vehicle stops on the road to carry out a check on people who were in the public thoroughfare at curfew hours ”, he assured.
“The vehicle remains in the middle of the road and the military official, complying with his protocols, proceeds to stand behind the vehicle, a situation that is not noticed by the driver of the private vehicle, which was not attentive to traffic conditions,” he added Fernandez.
“By virtue of the fact that there are responsibilities for both drivers, both were transferred to detention control, and both were formalized by the quasi-crime of very serious injuries and the precautionary measure of national roots was requested,” concluded the persecutor.
The investigation period was set at 6 months, to carry out the necessary steps to clarify what happened.
