Although they are situations that have arisen for many months and that have deepened with the mobilization or arrival of many foreigners; trips made by stowaways on mules or trucks in recent days have become a hassle for transporters.
They are mostly young people, couples or members of team bars that usually make use of this modality.
In the last hours a new case was known, it was presented on the road that leads from Santa Rosa de Osos to the city of Medellín.

This dangerous case joins what happened in the municipality of Bello, also in Antioquia.
When a young man was recorded who was desperate and screaming for attention.
He asked to be let down, but they recorded him and made fun of him.
many have died
There were two cases that left a total of three fatalities, one of them also in Antioquia and the other in the department of Magdalena.
The first was recorded last Monday, September 21.
It was in the Alto Santa Bárbara sector, when they discovered that on the platform of the mule tract two young people who would go as stowaways fell asleep and a roll that was being transported in the vehicle came off and fell on them.
The roll of sheets came loose in one of the curves and although it was tied so that it would not fall on the road, it did roll down the platform of the cargo truck.
Although it had been indicated that they would be foreigners, apparently, they were young Antioquia fans of Nacional, who got on the truck without permission to save the walk between Versalles and La Pintada.
The driver would not have noticed when the young people got on.
The one who survived, indicated that he was also asleep and dangerously on the edge of the platform, when he woke up, his two friends were lifeless.
This is a recurring practice on the country’s highways, truck drivers have reported that they have had incidents that put them, the stowaways, and the other drivers and passengers on the road at risk.
“They go up without permission,” they denounce and also, when they ask them to get off, “they are rude and aggressive.”
Before braking, curves, a crash are at risk; they have fallen, there have already been deaths.
