Rescuers from Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador, Zacatecoluca branch, responded Tuesday night to a traffic accident on the road to El Salvador International Airport, near Plaza de Cocos, in the district of San Juan Talpa.

The driver, identified as Arístides Recinos Molina, 29, crashed into the rear of a trailer truck because of the speed at which he was driving his vehicle.

Recinos Molina was trapped among the twisted metal of his pickup truck, requiring the use of hydraulic equipment alongside the Cuerpo de Bomberos, who assisted in freeing him after several minutes.
