The injured, who are members of Iglesia El Alfarero, were traveling to San Miguel after participating in a religious activity in San Salvador. At around eight at night, the vehicle’s driver did not notice that a vehicle had stopped on the highway and, in order to avoid a collision, lost control and crashed into a tree.

The injured were taken to medical centers on an emergency basis in coordination with other first-response entities. Meanwhile, others were treated at the scene of the road accident.

After being freed, the driver had to be taken to a medical center on an emergency basis due to the severity of his injuries.

A second victim, who was riding in the rear of the pickup truck, was taken to the hospital in delicate condition.
