The driver of the vehicle that caused the accident and eventually died was identified as Óscar Eduardo De las Salas Cabarcas, aged 32. While another person who was traveling in the same Chevrotel Spark GT car, with KJM 220 plates, as a co-pilot and was injured, responds to the name of Jhony Arturo Rolong Bettin, 30 years old.
About the accident, Malambo Transit officers reported that the occupants of the said vehicle were waiting on the back of a truck parked on the road, heading towards Malambo-Soledad, at around 4:30 am. to change the red light.
After the collision, the truck’s occupants got out of the vehicle without further complications and those who did need help were those who were transported in the Chevrolet Spark.
Along these lines, the transit authority indicated that De las Salas Cabarcas had been taken to the Campbell Clinic in Malambo, where doctors confirmed his death.
During the investigation, Transit agents learned that the occupants of the Spark vehicle were returning from the municipality of Santo Tomás, where they had apparently participated in the Carnival events on Saturday.
So far, the causes of the accident are unknown. However, a possible driver microsleep would be one of the main lines of research.
