Former presidential candidate Camilo Romero reported that his escort from the UNP was the one who was traveling in the truck to Cali and when he passed through Cajamarca, “his brakes failed” and he almost went into the abyss.
Colombia News.
The truck that this Sunday was left on the retaining wall and about to go into the abyss and the river passing through Cajamarca, was driven by a UNP escort, who was unharmed and the people helped to rescue.
The vehicle is part of the security scheme of the former governor of Nariño, Camilo Romero, as revealed by himself.
Through a Twitter message, Romero said that his escort came out of the accident well but that the truck “failed its brakes.”
The former governor denounced the case on Twitter.
A failure that apparently had already been reported to the National Protection Unit, UNP. “Months asking for proper maintenance of the brakes of the truck assigned to my security scheme,” denounced the former candidate for the Presidency of Colombia.
The institution has not responded to this complaint.
The incident occurred this Sunday, near the Alto de la Línea when the truck was heading to Cali. I had to get it out on a tow truck.
It is unknown how fast the vehicle was going.
Some witnesses indicated that they saw the vehicle go by at “high speed”.

Although many criticize Romero for not “ordering” the vehicle, this type of repair and intervention on official cars must be authorized by the institutions to which he is assigned.
In this case, the UNP must answer for the status of the truck, if it had been reported or if they were not notified. In addition, if you are doing the proper regular maintenance that they require for their constant use.
