Video: Serious accident in Villa Elisa involves three vehicles

A severe traffic accident involving three vehicles occurred on Saturday around 11:30 a.m. at the border of Villa Elisa and Lambaré, Paraguay. Police report that the incident was allegedly caused by a female driver who ran a red light.

The collision happened between Defensores del Chaco and Von Poleski avenues. The vehicles involved were a Toyota Ractis driven by Camila Andrea Irún, 23; a Nissan Tiida driven by Federico Delvalle, 27; and a Toyota Granvia van driven by Antonio Britos, 64. Preliminary investigations, supported by closed-circuit television footage, suggest the Ractis driver made an improper overtaking maneuver and disregarded a red signal.

This action allegedly caused the Ractis to collide with Delvalle's Nissan, which was then pushed into Britos's van. The Nissan sustained the most damage, and its driver, his wife, and their five-year-old son were inside. The woman was trapped in the vehicle and needed assistance from the Villa Elisa Volunteer Firefighters, who used specialized equipment to free her. Both injured individuals were taken to IPS Ingavi hospital.

Following the incident, prosecutor Andrea Ríos ordered all three drivers to undergo alcohol tests. The results were negative for everyone, but the drivers remain detained and under the authority of the Public Ministry. A witness, Daniel Miranda, described the Ractis driver's vehicle as traveling at approximately 100 km/h, even using the shoulder before the crash, and exhibiting what he called "suicidal or homicidal behavior" due to her recklessness. Miranda also stated that the woman attempted to flee the scene on foot after the collision, but he and the driver of the affected Nissan prevented her escape until police arrived. An unidentified passenger from the Ractis reportedly fled the scene on foot.
