Devastating Incident on Route 68
A tragic vehicular accident unfolded on Saturday afternoon on Route 68, within the municipality of Casablanca in the Valparaíso Region, resulting in the death of one individual and leaving a minor with serious injuries. The incident transpired just before 3:00 PM, near kilometer 73.7, specifically in the La Rotunda area and heading towards Santiago.
Initial reports indicate that the accident involved the overturning of a small vehicle, which tragically resulted in the death of one person at the scene. Additionally, a child sustained severe injuries and required immediate medical attention. Emergency response teams from SAMU quickly arrived at the site of the accident to assist the victims. Furthermore, the Traffic Accident Investigation Section (SIAT) of the Carabineros police service took charge of the investigation to determine the circumstances and causes surrounding this unfortunate event.
Due to the emergency response efforts, traffic on Route 68 was partially restricted in the vicinity, allowing only one lane to remain open for vehicles while emergency personnel worked diligently at the scene. This situation temporarily affected the flow of traffic towards Santiago, creating delays for motorists. However, following the completion of emergency operations, normal traffic conditions were restored on the stretch of road where the accident occurred.
