So far it is known that there are six minors who lost their lives and more than 15 wounded, who were transferred to the San José Hospital, in the municipality.
For now, the cause of the road accident has not been determined, however, hypotheses indicate that it is due to a mechanical failure.
The community and relief agencies of San Andrés and Molagavita went to the sector to carry out the rescue.
I myself walked that path.
A complete disgust.
Look for yourselves, paved in pieces, 15 seconds per piece of asphalt… the rest is a trail, when it rains it is much more dangerous and the fog in areas is permanent. @MAguilarHurtado speechless Governor. pic.twitter.com/UA1hmpzkty– Rosa Juliana Herrera Pinto?? (@juliherrerap) March 22, 2022
