The incident occurred in the town of Suba, specifically on Avenida Cali with Calle 139, around 11 at night.
In the video that circulated on social networks, a SITP bus is seen crossing a street and dozens of citizens and police around a woman who is on the ground.
Until now, EL TIEMPO was able to establish that the vandals stole a SITP bus and ran over a woman of approximately 40 years, whose identity is still unknown. The ambulance arrived at the scene and the health personnel gave him a resuscitation for more than 30 minutes, but he did not respond.

Faced with the case, the Minister of Defense, Carlos Holmes Trujillo, asserted that “The death of a woman, run over by a vandal who participated in the theft of a public transport vehicle causes deep pain”.
He also sent a message of solidarity with the families of the affected citizens in recent days.
