Two people were injured at midday when a pickup truck crashed into a tanker truck parked on bulevar del ejército near the Social Security hospital in Ilopango.

The victims, who were traveling in the private pickup truck bearing license plate P 58-533, crashed into the rear of the tanker, which was waiting to leave to distribute water. The driver of the private vehicle was assisted and admitted to the Social Security Hospital, while his companion had to be freed by rescuers from Comandos de Salvamento.

Members of the Vehicle Rescue Unit of Comandos de Salvamento arrived at the scene, and hydraulic equipment was used to free the woman who remained trapped among the wreckage. Minutes later, she was rescued and stabilized before being transported on an emergency basis to Hospital Rosales.

Comandos de Salvamento has issued a series of calls for drivers to respect traffic signs and avoid excessive speed, since accidents have not stopped during the quarantine, leaving several people injured and dead.
