[TheCruxofBag]

In Puerto Barrios, Guatemala, a motorbike passenger, identified as Dulce E.P.M., was killed when she was run over by a truck. Dulce had gained some local fame as a Christian gospel singer. The driver of the truck was detained. The driver of the motorbike was taken to a hospital, where his health status is unknown.

Holy fuck. Dude used his shattered humerus to stand up onto his likely also shattered pelvis/femur/tib/fib. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug. Also love the dude checking for a pulse with a pulse ox. Stupid.

Lots of blood for a body that looks somewhat intact. Wonder where the damage was done

If your country cannot afford traffic lights at major intersections, then you'd better be an expert at traversing seamlessly through incoming traffic, or you're fucked-dead—especially at the speeds displayed here.

P.S. Why they don't at least treat these as 4-way stops is beyond me.

At least slow the fuck down, look around for incoming traffic as-if-your-life-depended-on-it, plan your crossing and adjust speed accordingly—and you have a better chance to make it through in one piece.

R.I.P. Sweet girl.

Very sad events. The semi was speeding and ran over the red light. Puerto Barrios is a big central American city. The seen of the accident occurred on calle 20 and carretera 409. The semi was traveling west bound when it ran over the moped traveling south bound on carretera 409.There are traffic lights with left hand arrows. The light post were blue with yellow at the bottom the last time I was in the area. Actually the is a major intersection in the city. Highway 409 travels from Puerto Barrios all the way to Guatemala city. Puerto Barrios and Livingston are the two major areas for people to take care of administrative documents. For people going into Rio Dulce, Puerto Barrios is a place to conduct and transfer boat titles.

Yeah great idea by the paramedic she's got a serious head trauma but let's check her blood oxygen level first

"health status is unknown"

I mean, it may not be official, but I'm pretty sure the status is known. Lol.

What did you expect? They were probably all riding donkeys a year ago.

Before that he closes her eyes. Doing the job no one wants.
