Martínez explained that the collision involved a taccar and a bus affiliated with the Cootrayal company which at that time covered the route between Yarumal and the capital of Antioquia.
At the scene, firefighters found eleven people injured by the impactamong which one was the driver of the tarcto truck, while the others were in the public service vehicle.
The operation required the participation of two rescue cars, plus a rapid intervention car and thirteen firefighters who carried out the extraction of the injured.
It was also necessary to use specialized equipment for rescue from confined spacesbecause whoever was on board the tractor-trailer was trapped between the crooked cans, just like a bus passenger.

One of the last that was serious was the overturning of a bus that covered the Montería-Bogotá route, with a stopover in Medellín, on January 11 of this year.
