Testimonies of survivors criticize the lack of timely assistance, on the part of the National Emergency Care Systemsince it allegedly took half an hour to transfer the wounded.
Such is the case of Valeria’s husband, Diego Martin Donaldhey, who told Diario Libre that agents of the National Police and members of the Fire Department approached them some time after the accident.
However, he explained that he became desperate when he saw that an ambulance did not arrive to help the injured, including his partner, who had lost an arm.
“We spent about half an hour waiting for an ambulance. I took my wife up with a private firefighter and we left for here (IMG Hospital). She lost an arm, I told the firefighter let’s not wait any longer,” Donaley said.
It has also been denounced that the conditions of the vehicle were not suitable for the transfer of so many people because it was an old device and that it supposedly had smooth tires.
Yesterday he Emergency Operations Center (COE) issued a statement detailing the levels of intervention of the different institutions after the fact, but did not state that the assistance arrived on time.
