The facts occurred in the middle of the morning. The Ministry of Mobility reported that at 4:30 a.m. the cars crashed, specifically, on Centenario Avenue with Cali Avenue.

After the accident, one of the vehicles was completely destroyed and ended up at one end of the avenue above the divider, traffic police reported. In this, apparently, the mortal victim was mobilized.

In addition, they recommend that they leave in advance to avoid traffic jams and that they can arrive on time at their destinations.
