Neuquén: lost control of her truck, turned over several times, was ejected and died
A tragic vehicle accident in Neuquén resulted in the death of a 38-year-old woman after she lost control of her truck and rolled over multiple times.
A fatal traffic accident occurred on Wednesday on Route 43 in the Neuquén province of Argentina, where a 38-year-old woman lost control of her pickup truck. The incident took place near the town of Las Ovejas, as the woman was driving alone in her Toyota Hilux. Details around the cause of the accident are still unclear, but it was reported that she lost control of the vehicle, skidded off the provincial road, and rolled over several times before the truck came to rest on the roadside, severely damaged.
Emergency services rushed the victim to a hospital after the rollover, where she ultimately succumbed to her injuries. Initial investigations suggest that the woman was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident. This tragic incident underscores the importance of road safety measures and the fatal risks of not using seat restrictions while driving. The authorities are expected to conduct further investigations to determine the exact circumstances surrounding this unfortunate accident.
The province of Neuquén, located in Argentina's Patagonia region, is known for its rural landscapes and low traffic volume on many roads, but accidents like this highlight the potential dangers present on even less trafficked routes. As communities mourn the loss of the victim, this incident raises awareness about the necessity for greater traffic safety campaigns and the adherence to vehicle safety protocols, particularly in remote areas where help may not be readily available in case of emergencies.
