The video (which is at the end of the note) is from a security camera, and there it is observed when the truck driver descends through the slow lane (right) of the road in the Sierra Morena sector, in the town of Ciudad Bolivar, and loses control the moment he tries to brake on a sharp curve.
News Caracol spread the recording and drew attention to the fact that the driver of the heavy vehicle was “at high speed”, who braked abruptly and hit the safety rail as he slid and fell into the opposite road.
The image allows us to see the moment when the private car was going up the road, and that is when the truck suddenly crushes it and causes the driver’s death. Two small children also died in the incident, while the mother and two other minors were taken to hospitals.
The recording is one of the evidence that the Prosecutor’s Office collected to charge the truck driver, who also receives hospital care, and would allow to verify the hypothesis that the Police handle from the beginning: that the man at the wheel apparently exceeded speed.
Colonel Zulma Leguízamo, head of the Traffic section in Bogotá, had said that the 26-year-old man “did not have his valid license to drive” the truck, and that he currently owes about 1,400,000 pesos per about 6 comparendos.
The fines, according to the newsletter, are for infractions such as running a red light, not having the road kit, having expired the license and the mechanical technical review, as well as not wearing a seat belt.
Accident truck driver in Bogotá had alcohol breath
This version that the driver apparently was driving under the influence of alcohol on the day of the events, December 25 in the morning, was given by the news based on the first medical reports.
In one of these reports it is stated “That the young man arrived at the hospital with alcoholic breath” after he was treated at the scene of the accident, and all this evidence is analyzed by the Prosecutor’s Office to determine what charges will be charged to the driver.
The newscast assured, in the following report, that if found responsible for the accident, the man could be sentenced to up to 25 years in prison.
