Rows 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.

In circumstances that are being established, the latter collided with the Ranger. Police spokespersons reported that the driver, a 53-year-old woman, residing in Centenario, would have had problems with the automatic transmission of her truck.

Neither she nor the driver of the Ford, a 51-year-old man residing in Cipolletti, were injured. Only significant material damage was recorded, mainly to the Honda truck, which was blocked in the road, so it took several minutes until the lane of the road incident could finally be freed.

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

Last Wednesday, a woman who was driving to work was involved in a shock against a light pole in the lower Neuquén area while trying to avoid a police patrol car. The driver claims that the person driving the car did not brake even though she had the right of way. She is facing 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 claims that she had the right of way, as established by the traffic law, for those driving on the right (which is corroborated according to the mechanics indicated), 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 he did not stop, she could no longer do so and “in order to avoid the police car”, she crashed her white Volkswagen into a light pole.

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.
