Two killed in truck-utility vehicle crash in Córdoba, Argentina

A tragic collision on provincial route 4 in Córdoba, Argentina, claimed the lives of two individuals on Friday afternoon. The accident, which occurred near the town of La Carlota at kilometer 140, involved a Citroën Berlingo utility vehicle and a Mercedes-Benz truck.

The two passengers inside the utility vehicle died at the scene due to the severity of the impact. Emergency services arrived shortly after the incident but confirmed the fatalities. The identities of the deceased have not yet been released.

The 42-year-old driver of the truck sustained only minor injuries and did not require hospitalization. The La Carlota Prosecutor's Office, led by Dr. Romina Wisnivetzky, has taken charge of the investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the crash. Police and health personnel worked at the accident site, causing significant traffic delays for several hours.

This incident follows another fatal accident on the same route just days prior. A head-on collision between a Fiat Siena and a Renault minibus carrying a girls' under-12 soccer team resulted in two deaths and 17 injuries. The previous accident occurred between La Carlota and Huanchilla, involving a curve known for heavy truck traffic due to agricultural activity.
