Buenos Aires reports hit‑and‑run of wheelchair vendor and drunk driver crashing motorcycles
In La Tablada, a van struck a street‑selling vendor who was using a wheelchair and then fled the scene. The victim sustained several injuries and his wheelchair was destroyed. Police are reviewing security‑camera footage to identify the vehicle and driver.
Separately on Avenida Solís, a driver who tested positive for alcohol lost control of his car, drove onto the sidewalk and collided with several parked motorcycles, causing extensive material damage. No injuries were reported, but the driver was detained, his license suspended and a criminal case opened.
Both incidents highlight concerns over reckless driving and traffic‑law enforcement in the Buenos Aires region.
