Lines of several kilometers due to an accident on Route 7

Preliminary information indicated that a truck had collided with another vehicle near the Neuquén neighborhood, and due to police intervention there were significant traffic complications.

Finally, police sources confirmed to L M N that around 8 in the morning a road accident occurred between a Ford Ranger truck and a Honda CRV off-road truck.

Under circumstances that are still being determined, the latter collided with the Ranger. Police spokesmen suggested that the driver, a 53-year-old woman, living in Centenario, had had problems with the automatic transmission of her truck.

Neither she nor the driver of the Ford, a 51-year-old man living in Cipolletti, were injured. Only significant material damage was reported, mainly to the Honda pickup truck, which was blocked on the road, so several minutes passed until the lane of the road accident was finally cleared.

He dodged a patrol car to avoid an accident and ended up against a pole

Last Wednesday, a woman driving to work was involved in a shock against a light pole in lower Neuquén while performing a maneuver to avoid a police patrol car. The driver claims that the person driving the cell phone did not brake even though she had the right of way. She expects a million-dollar expense.

“I was going down Leguizamón to go to work, I crossed the road, I made one block and at Leguizamón and Chile, I was coming from the right hand side and from the left side on Chile Street a cell phone and, if I continued straight, I hit it. I I see, we both tend to turn and I hit the light pole,” the driver said in dialogue with LMNeuquén regarding the accident that occurred this Wednesday morning.

The driver indicates that she had the priority of passage established by the traffic law for those traveling on the right (which is corroborated according to the indicated mechanics), so the police officer driving the patrol car had to stop at the corner, something she expected him to do. However, when she saw that she did not stop, she could no longer do so and “to avoid the police car”, she crashed her white Volkswagen against a light post.

Fortunately, the woman got away “cheaply.” The impact was not so strong because she was not traveling at high speed and she did not suffer any injuries. In fact, her car was still running, although the damage still affected it and her mechanic had already told her that The repair costs would exceed half a million pesos.
