From the early hours of Saturday, Salvadoran families suffered the loss of relatives who died in traffic accidents at different locations across the country.
At around four-thirty in the morning, two people, an adult and a minor, lost their lives when the vehicle in which they were traveling crashed on bulevar Venezuela into a trailer that was parked; two others were taken alive to medical facilities.
Minutes later, on Carretera Troncal del Norte, a route 109 minibus collided with the rear of a truck, leaving 7 people seriously injured, including the driver of the public transportation unit.
Stanley Nerio, driver of the route 109 minibus, lost his battle this day, becoming one of the fatalities of traffic accidents.
Meanwhile, the other injured people were assisted by Comandos de Salvamento and other rescue organizations.
On the other hand, Comandos de Salvamento of Ilopango assisted a woman who was struck by a vehicle on Carretera Panamericana, at the entrance to Jardines de Selt Sutt, in Ilopango; the victim was admitted on an emergency basis to the Social Security Hospital.
Once again, a route 109 public transportation unit was involved in a road accident when a passenger traveling in the unit fell on Calle 5 de noviembre and Carretera Troncal del Norte.
The victim was identified as Jorge Alberto López, who suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of the fall and was urgently admitted to the maximum-care unit of Hospital Rosales.
