Yesterday morning a serious traffic accident was recorded in the Prados del Este urbanization, Baruta municipality, which involved a private vehicle and a public transport unit of the Metrobús system.
According to initial investigations, the accident occurred due to the driver’s state of intoxication, who lost control of his car, which is presumed to be the main cause of the accident.
Preliminary reports indicate that the private vehicle violently impacted the transport unit. Security forces and emergency teams quickly rushed to the scene to address the situation. The driver of the private vehicle, whose identity was not revealed, was injured after the impact. The paramedic report indicates that he had a severe contusion in the cranial area.
Also in the state of Miranda, a spectacular traffic accident was recorded at the entrance to the Dos Lagunas sector, in the Valles del Tuy, when a public transport unit overturned after trying to avoid a direct collision with a private vehicle.
The accident occurred at 6:11 am, a few meters from the Volco service station. According to preliminary reports, a light vehicle (cart type) invaded the bus circulation channel.
In an attempt to avoid the direct impact, the driver of the collective unit made an evasive maneuver that caused the loss of control and the subsequent overturning on the road.
The bus had just left the service station after refueling at the time of the incident.
Despite the magnitude of the overturn, security forces reported that no people with serious injuries were recorded.
