San Martín de los Andes is in shock for the tragic accident in which four soldiers lost their lives, following the crash of a Mercedes Benz 1518 truck belonging to the Argentine Army.
The accident occurred at kilometer 9 of Provincial Route 62, in the so-called Caracol Curve, in the Alihuen Bajo area. It is active transit, curve and countercurve, which generates complications for driving, causing maneuverability to be as rigorous as possible.
There is a history of vehicles, in this last winter season, that have suffered accidents due to the presence of icy or wet roads in the area. In any case, this accident would not be the case, and what is determined by the expertise carried out by the Police at the request of prosecutor Inés Gerez is crucial. It is also expected that the driver’s state of health will allow the prosecutor to take her statement.
Furthermore, it is expected that the weather conditions will allow us to begin the work of the accident investigation, to determine the dynamics of the incident and the possible existence of a mechanical failure of the truck, which is protected, with police security, and covered to preserve the place of the scene.
