Police accused of covering up for officer in traffic accident

A 22-year-old worker is hospitalized with severe injuries after a traffic accident allegedly caused by a police officer. The victim's friend, José Mereles, alleges that the National Police are covering up for the officer, identified as Leandro Trinidad Núñez, 20, who was riding a motorcycle.

Mereles stated that the officer has not approached the victim, Nadua Buongermini, who remains in critical condition at the Hospital de Trauma with a fractured femur and facial injuries. Buongermini's friends only learned of the accident through a call from a hospital doctor. "It's a lack of humanity; she told us she couldn't even drink water during all that time. They threw her here," Mereles lamented.

“

It's a lack of humanity; she told us she couldn't even drink water during all that time. They threw her here.

Furthermore, Mereles claims the police are obstructing the reporting process, even requiring a family member for the report. He also noted that the incident report was not immediately sent to the prosecutor's office, delaying access to surveillance footage. Buongermini, who lives alone and has limited family support, faces significant financial hardship. Her friends are appealing for donations of diapers, wet wipes, and other necessities to help cover her care.

We are her friends who are trying to cover everything because she is in total uncertainty. It is a lack of humanity on the part of the person who hit her; we want to make my friend's case public.
