Driver with fake license hits two pedestrians in Mar del Plata

Two pedestrians were injured in Mar del Plata on Monday afternoon when a 54-year-old woman lost control of her car and drove onto the sidewalk. The incident occurred shortly before 3 p.m. at the intersection of Catamarca and Moreno streets. The driver's vehicle, a Peugeot 206, collided with a Nissan Tiida after attempting to cross the intersection. Neither driver yielded before entering the intersection, resulting in a head-on collision.

Following the crash, the woman lost control of her Peugeot and mounted the sidewalk, striking a 52-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy. Security camera footage captured the moment of impact, showing one of the victims being dragged several meters before the car came to a stop. Witnesses immediately called emergency services.

Emergency medical personnel from SAME (System of Emergency Medical Attention) attended to the injured. The 52-year-old man was transported to the Hospital Interzonal General de Agudos with politrauma. The 15-year-old boy was taken to Clínica Colón, where he was admitted with severe head trauma, according to local outlet El Marplatense.

During the police procedure, officers discovered that the woman possessed a falsified driver's license and lacked the necessary documentation to legally operate a vehicle. Consequently, municipal traffic personnel confiscated her car.
