Two motorcycle drivers collided this morning on Calle Antigua a Tonacatepeque, near Colonia Las Brisas.

The motorcyclists were attempting to overtake a public transportation vehicle stopped to pick up passengers when the other motorcycle appeared traveling in the opposite direction, and they collided head-on, leaving all 4 occupants injured.

A woman who was riding as a passenger ended up underneath the public transportation vehicle when the motorcycle fell. The victims, who suffered trauma to various parts of their bodies, were assisted by rescuers from Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador and members of Cruz Verde.

The two injured pairs were taken on an emergency basis to Hospital Zacamil due to the trauma they suffered in the traffic accident.

In another case, on Friday night two motorcyclists were injured in a confusing incident on the Autopista al Aeropuerto Internacional El Salvador, near Rancho Navarra, where a motorcycle was allegedly struck by the driver of a vehicle.

Later, two more motorcyclists collided with the rear of the car that had stopped after the incident with the first motorcycle driver, who suffered trauma.

The passenger accompanying the driver of the car had to be admitted to a medical center due to a nervous breakdown and some bruises suffered after the traffic accident.
