Ecuador, Cañar Province. The shop owner was standing immediately outside this storefront when the vehicle careened off the road and pinned him against the building's exterior structure.

The white Kia was being driven by a woman. The driver completely abandoned the scene immediately following the crash. No one from the vehicle stayed behind to assist the pinned shopkeeper.

Security footage and bystander videos show that right around the time of the crash, a male passenger in the vehicle aggressively tried to change seats with the female driver, contributing to the complete loss of vehicle control.

The victim's family has formally demanded that the National Police and the Attorney General's Office fast-track the investigation using the license plate and security footage to track down the owner of the vehicle. As of now, the perpetrators have not come forward to take responsibility for the bodily harm or property damage.

The business owner suffered severe, high-impact trauma to his lower body when the vehicle pinned him directly against the concrete storefront wall. He remains hospitalized at the local medical facility under intensive evaluation. His family is closely monitoring his state while managing the sudden financial and medical crisis.
