What Gustavo Sofovich said after the accident

In an interview with Radio Mitre, Sofovich shared that he had woken up at 5 in the morning and had gone out to buy two yogurts. Upon returning, he was driving on Salguero when the crash occurred.

“It touches me, it falls, and I automatically get out of the car and call 911,” he explained about the sequence of the accident.

He also stated that he stayed inside the vehicle because it was cold. “I am sitting in the car because it’s cold,” he noted.

Later, during a brief press conference, he referred to the incident again. “The breathalyzer test gave me 0, and the motorcycle driver too,” he affirmed.

Additionally, he asserted that both were responsible for the accident. “I know that we both caused the accident. I immediately called 911,” he expressed.

Sofovich explained that the prosecutor initially did not allow him to speak with the media. He indicated that he was later released and was able to leave the scene.

“The prosecutor wouldn’t let me go talk to the media; I’ve been released,” he stated during his declaration to the press.

Close to 8 in the morning, after signing the corresponding report for the accident and talking to the media, the theater producer left the scene.

During the interview, he also clarified that his vehicle is not armored. “It has reinforced windows to prevent a hammer blow,” he explained.
