A woman died on Friday afternoon on the Pan-American Highway near a tourist center in the vicinity of El Congo. The victim was traveling as a passenger in one of the vehicles involved in the collision.

In addition, Comandos de Salvamento reported assisting at least ten other people who were passengers in a pick-up truck.

Comandos de Salvamento used hydraulic equipment to free the woman, who had become trapped among the twisted metal.

In recent hours, Comandos de Salvamento has observed a significant increase in the number of traffic accidents, as a result of speeding and violations of traffic signs. Authorities therefore urge people to maintain and respect the established speed limits.
