Judicial intervention and expert analysis to clarify the incident

Córdoba Police reported that a breathalyzer test was administered to the driver of the car, which yielded a negative result. In addition, it was confirmed that both vehicles had up-to-date documentation. No hypothesis regarding the cause of the collision has been ruled out.

Córdoba records increase in traffic accidents in suburban areas

This latest incident adds to a worrying series of accidents in urban corridors of the Sierras Chicas. Authorities acknowledge an increase in fatal collisions in suburban areas with intermunicipal traffic. The main causes include speeding and lack of signage.

The deceased had not yet been officially identified at the close of this edition. Authorities were awaiting the presence of his relatives to carry out the identification. Meanwhile, the Highway Police recommended taking extreme precautions when driving on internal roads of the mountain corridor.

The tragedy has once again raised alarms about the need for road safety measures in commuter towns. Salsipuedes, like other towns near Córdoba's capital, has experienced significant population growth. However, many of its roads are not prepared for the current volume of traffic.
