Bus covering Catia La Mar-Caribe route ran over and killed a worker in La Guaira

A municipal worker tragically lost his life on Friday night in La Guaira, Venezuela, after being hit by a passenger bus. The incident occurred while the worker was engaged in cleaning and maintenance tasks on the asphalt of the area.

The bus involved in the accident was reportedly transporting a group of young volleyball players and was traveling on the established route between Catia La Mar and Caribe. According to reports, the municipal staff had deployed the necessary demarcation equipment to secure the work area.

State Police officials from La Guaira quickly secured the scene to manage traffic flow and prevent further incidents on the roadway. Colleagues of the victim also arrived at the location, witnessing the immediate rescue efforts before his death was confirmed.

Initial inspections of the avenue revealed that inadequate artificial lighting in the sector at the time of the crash may have compromised visibility. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident to determine accountability. As of Saturday morning, details regarding the identities of the deceased worker or the bus driver had not been released.
