A police van that was chasing a car with a robbery report at full speed through the streets of Villa Martelli, in the Vicente López district, It ended up causing a very serious accident, when the officer who was driving lost control, crashed into parked cars and then crashed into a group of young people who were on the opposite sidewalk. The balance was devastating, two of them are seriouswith videos that are beginning to become known about the fact that they are chillingsequences that show the desperation of young people in the face of a cruel paradox of fate, which in moments turned a reason for meeting and fun into a picture of life or death.
It all happened this morning on Carlos Melo street, in front of the Club Atlético La Escuelita (CALE) in Martelli. The group of young people who were in the place with a small grill almost on the corner, are first startled when they see them passing by, in that usually quiet place and much more so at night on a holiday, to a green car at very high speed. It was a car that was later reported to have an arrest warrant for theft, but the young people were barely able to comment on that situation, as a Vicente López Police van also appeared on the scene at enormous speed, which would unleash a disaster: the The police officer driving loses control, it is not yet known why, he crashes a parked car, with such macabre luck that after that impact he heads towards the young people, and hits them head on, causing two of them to be seriously injured. The violence of the impact was so horrifying that the truck uprooted the light pole on the corner as if it were made of paper:
The image from the street camera shows one of the boys grabbing his head when he sees the police van hit the parked car, but the sequence continues when the cell phone shoots towards the group, whose members are unable to run. since from calm to disaster barely seconds pass.
Authoritarians don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That is why it bothers those who believe they are the owners of the truth.
One of the young people is the most complicated, his condition is really serious, while another has what was defined in the first instance as “considerable injuries.” Both were obviously referred with the urgency of the case to nearby hospitals.
“Are they high?”, “Are they drunk?”
The officers who were in the van They are seen in the video in a state of shock in the vehiclethey can’t get out, it is not known if it was a result of the blow, because the truck was seriously damaged, or not to face those who yelled at them ‘How did you do this? ‘Are you on drugs?’ ‘Are you drunk?’ to cause an accident of such magnitude.
Shocked by the situation, numerous residents quickly left their homes due to the noise and screams. Some recorded the moments after the accident and a girl can be heard saying not to move one of the injured.
Another police officer who was coming in a second van, while the crash officers are heard being rebuked, tries to reassure the group, but all in a context of desperation that is heartbreaking. “They’re not going to leave, stay calm”said that police officer to those who were insulting those in the truck, while others asked “Do something! Call an ambulance!”
From the municipality of Vicente López they limited themselves to pointing out that it was a persecution in which “two patrol cars were after a car with an arrest warrant that had been detected through one of the gates of the digital ring.” It was later learned that the getaway car had subsequently been taken, and that a woman who was in that vehicle had been detained, without further clarification. All that remains is to wait for the medical reports of the injured, and hope that they can get through such an irrational ordeal.
