In the early hours of Friday, a dramatic multiple vehicle collision occurred at the intersection of Lamadrid and Calchaquí Avenues in Quilmes, Buenos Aires province, involving seven vehicles. Fortunately, there were no fatalities reported, but several individuals suffered injuries, with their conditions yet to be disclosed. The incident began when a Ford EcoSport truck ran a red light, colliding with a black Volkswagen Gol traveling on the main avenue.

The impact from the initial collision caused the Volkswagen to veer across lanes, striking five vehicles that were waiting at a red light on Lamadrid Avenue towards Urrestarazu. The force of this chain reaction was significant, leading two additional vehicles to end up on the roadway. Images from the scene depicted one of the trucks, a Volkswagen Amarok, in a severely damaged state, highlighting the severity of the crash.

Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances of the crash, focusing on the driver of the Ford EcoSport who failed to adhere to traffic signals. While it is fortunate that no lives were lost, the incident raises concerns about road safety and adherence to traffic regulations in the area, especially considering the potential for more serious outcomes. The situation of the hospitalized individuals remains unclear as updates from local hospitals are awaited.
