A total of 23 wounded passengers left the turn of a bus that crashed the morning of this Monday, August 18 on the José Antonio Páez highway, at the height of the residential sector, Ospino municipality.
The accident was recorded just where the detour to trunk 05 begins, the alternate route that is enabled since the La Trinidad bridge collapsed, two months ago, product of the overflow of a dam.
The Public Transport Unit, a Morva brand bus, white color, 580aa40 plates, affiliated with the mixed “La Fraternidad” cooperative, traveled from Mérida to Caracas.
Although the causes of the incident have not been determined, the report of the authorities indicates that the driver lost control of the vehicle, so he collided with the road separator and then overturned.
Police commissions, of the National Guard, Civil Protection and Firefighters presented themselves at the site and transferred to the injured to the Ospino Hospital. They are stable, most with trauma and fractures.
