Total recklessness: drove against traffic and caused a disaster in the middle of the early morning in Córdoba

A high-impact accident occurred at the corner of Gauss and Recta Martinolli, a busy area in the north of Córdoba. A Volkswagen Amarok was driving the wrong way on Gauss Avenue in the early morning hours, when it collided head-on with an Audi and violently pushed it aside.

The Audi crashed into a traffic light, which was completely destroyed, and knocked down a streetlight pole. The accident caused significant damage to the public road and to both vehicles involved. The Amarok's driver stated he was "shocked," but did not explain his dangerous maneuver.

According to initial reports, there were no serious injuries, although the material damage was significant. The people involved left before legal responsibilities could be determined.

Urban chaos and traffic disorder in Córdoba

This is not the first time reckless maneuvers have been reported at that intersection, one of the busiest in the northern corridor. Residents of the area have repeatedly reported the lack of controls on Gauss Avenue.

The driver who was going the wrong way was not detained, although the images clearly prove his responsibility in the accident. Police sources reported that no signs of alcohol were found, but further forensic tests are expected. The Amarok also had severe damage to the front.

The intersection was left without functional signaling and with electrical risk due to fallen cables. Lighting personnel worked throughout the early morning to clear the area. Traffic was restricted until after 6 a.m., causing delays and confusion during rush hour.

Municipal neglect

The incident once again highlights the neglect with which Córdoba's City Hall manages urban traffic. Meanwhile, millions are allocated to pointless climate events, while the streets remain lawless. There is no patrolling, no functional cameras, and no preventive controls where they are most needed.

Drivers traveling through the area stated that speeding and reckless maneuvers are frequent in that sector. Despite multiple complaints from residents, the presence of inspectors has not been increased, nor have new traffic lights been installed. The absence of traffic order is felt every day.

Road safety doesn't seem to be on Mayor Passerini's agenda, who is more focused on organizing ideological forums than on bringing order to the city. Every accident is a reminder of what is not being done. Each fallen pole is a metaphor for the general state of Córdoba's capital.
