Re: Grandpa Ran Over By 2 Motorcycles
An elderly man died run over by two motorcycles on Sunday morning in the urban area of Ábrego, Norte de Santander. The victim was identified as José Luis Domínguez Durán, who was trying to cross a road at around 9:55 a.m., when he was hit by two motorcycles in circumstances that are being investigated by traffic authorities and the Police. According to the preliminary report known by local media, the accident was registered in an urban section of the national highway, after Domínguez Durán left a commercial establishment and tried to change platforms. The man would have accelerated his pace to cross the street, without noticing that a motorcycle was approaching at that moment. According to the initial reconstruction of the facts, the first motorcycle was traveling at a speed that is now a matter of verification. The pedestrian would have crashed into the left side of the vehicle. As a result of the impact, the driver was ejected and fell on the platform, where he suffered head and chest injuries. After the first crash, the elderly man fell in the middle of the road. At that time he would have been run over by a second motorcycle that was also circulating in the sector. The motorcycle passed over his body, at the height of the abdomen, according to preliminary information released by the regional press. Domínguez Durán was left lying face down on the asphalt. Witnesses notified relief agencies to request assistance, but the elderly man died at the scene before he could be transferred to a medical center. The first motorcyclist, described in the reports as a young man, was helped by people who were in the area and later taken to a medical center. There he receives care for the injuries he suffered during the fall, mainly to the head and chest. The second driver involved was also reportedly injured, although the injuries would be minor. So far, the authorities have not provided additional information on the identity of the motorcyclists or their medical condition, while the corresponding proceedings are advancing. The Police and traffic agencies are advancing the collection of testimonies to establish how the sequence of impacts occurred. The review of the security cameras installed in the sector is also carried out, in order to specify the speed, the trajectory of the motorcycles and the conditions in which the pedestrian began the crossing. The authorities have indicated that the investigation is still open and that any conclusion on possible responsibilities will depend on the technical traffic reports, the results of the inspection of the place and the criminalistics proceedings. For now, the available information corresponds to a preliminary reconstruction based on the initial reports and the versions of witnesses. Residents of the area told the local media that in that section of Ábrego it is common to see motorcycles circulating at high speed. However, this perception does not in itself constitute a conclusion about the accident and must be contrasted with the evidence collected by the investigators. The case once again draws attention to the need to take extreme precautionary measures on urban roads, especially in sectors where pedestrians and motorcyclists share circulation spaces. While what happened is being determined, the authorities maintain the call to respect speed limits and drive responsibly.

Re: Grandpa Ran Over By 2 Motorcycles
For decades, Don Luis José worked among mountains, antennas, and structures, dedicated to maintaining these systems that allowed signals to reach Colombian homes. His work history dates back to 1971 and is linked to moments that are part of the memory of several generations, including the historic broadcast of 1969. But this Sunday, a tragedy ended his life. |
