According to what was reported by SIAT Lieutenant Arenas, he reported the death of one of the occupants of the vehicle at the Copiapó Regional Hospital.
The accident occurred around 05:00 in the morning at km 4 of route C-35. According to what was stated by the commander of the fire department of the Calle Larga commune, Jaime Castillo Veliz, he indicated that “it was an overturning of a smaller vehicle, brand Samsung, in which we were able to observe that 7 people were going to the car interior
According to what the commander indicated, after receiving the emergency alert, upon arriving at the scene of the event they found those involved outside the vehicle; it is presumed that the majority had been ejected as a result of the vehicle overturning.
In this regard, the Lieutenant of the SIAT of Atacama, Freddy Arenas Gallardo, indicated that “a crash occurred with a subsequent rollover, where as a result of the above, a 17-year-old person died at the Copiapó Regional Hospital. In the vehicle, there was the driver, four minors and three adults.”
SIAT personnel are carrying out investigative procedures, since there would be information that indicates that the car overturned as a result of a collision with another vehicle. “We are carrying out evidence gathering and procedures to reliably establish how the accident occurred, if Whether or not there was another vehicle involved in the accident,” Arenas said.
Finally, the Carabineros Lieutenant added that “in the first instance it is ruled out that the deceased person was the driver, in the same way it cannot be indicated that he was the co-pilot or in the rear seats of the vehicle.”
