A devastating car crash in Casilda, Santa Fe, claimed the lives of two young individuals and left four others injured early Saturday morning. The group of six, four women and two men, were on their way home from the Mona nightclub when the Peugeot 208 they were traveling in veered off provincial route S26.

Initial reports suggest the driver was speeding and lost control on a curve. The vehicle rolled multiple times before coming to rest in a grassy area. Five occupants were ejected from the car due to the force of the crash, while one remained trapped inside.

Emergency services, including firefighters and medical personnel, responded to the scene. Two of the passengers, identified as 17-year-old Lola Gironacci from Zavalla and 24-year-old Ramiro Tripiani from Pérez, were pronounced dead. The surviving passengers, three women aged 17 and one man aged 20, were taken to Hospital San Carlos in Casilda.

Two of the injured women were airlifted to Rosario due to the severity of their conditions. One suffered an "extremely serious" lumbar injury and is awaiting emergency surgery at Hospital Centenario. The other is hospitalized at Sanatorio Plaza. The article also briefly mentions a separate fatal crash in Santa Fe on June 19 involving two brothers.
