A major traffic accident was recorded on Monday morning around 6 a.m. on Avenida Médicos del Chaco, at the corner of Haydeé Santamaría Street, in the Nazareth neighborhood of Asunción. A pickup truck overturned after violently colliding with a tree on the median strip.
The driver, identified as Arnaldo Díaz, 22, was traveling along the road when, while going over a speed bump, he allegedly suffered a mechanical failure in one of the tires, losing control of the vehicle. The pickup truck went down a slope, hit the tree, and then overturned.
Despite the force of the impact and significant material damage, the young man managed to exit the vehicle on his own and did not appear to have serious injuries, according to preliminary police information.
The accident caused partial lane closures while police officers and rescue teams worked to remove the vehicle and clear the road.
