“That truck was going full throttle because the street barriers cracked, it took the car and then knocked over a pole. That post was the one that stopped the truck, because if it hadn’t, it would have reached the other neighborhood as fast as it was going, “Anderson Casallas told Noticias Caracol.

The man also related that, after the spectacular crash, he and other residents of the sector helped the occupants of the car, in which the family was mobilizing. “We started helping three children.
