Two Injured in Carapeguá After Pickup Truck Hits Electricity Pole

A violent traffic accident occurred early Monday morning in Carapeguá, Paraguay, when a Toyota Hilux pickup truck collided with an ANDE (National Electricity Administration) utility pole. The vehicle, traveling on Route PY01 in the San Blas neighborhood, struck the pole and came to rest beside a pharmacy.

The impact resulted in injuries to two occupants of the truck, identified as Edgar Leonor López Acevedo, 33, and Nélida Johana Aguilera Presentado, 23. Both were transported to the Carapeguá District Hospital for medical attention. Their injuries were reported as not serious.

Significant material damage was sustained by both the pharmacy and the pickup truck. The fallen utility pole partially obstructed vehicular traffic on the route, requiring police intervention to manage the situation and ensure safety. Additionally, the surrounding area experienced a power outage, with ANDE technicians dispatched to restore service.
