Punta Lara traffic accident kills 10-day-old infant

A multi-vehicle collision in Punta Lara, Ensenada, resulted in the death of a 10-day-old infant, Tadeo León Ledesma. The accident occurred on Sunday night at the intersection of Almirante Brown and 106, involving a Ford EcoSport, a Volkswagen UP, and a Fiat Fiorino.

Preliminary investigations and security footage suggest the EcoSport struck the Fiat Fiorino from behind before losing control and colliding with the Volkswagen UP traveling in the opposite direction. The infant was rushed to the Hospital de Niños de La Plata but succumbed to his injuries. A 3-year-old girl, the infant's sister, was also injured and remains hospitalized.

The driver of the EcoSport, 66-year-old Oscar Luciano Pacheco, has been detained and charged with involuntary manslaughter. The judicial investigation is being conducted by the UFI N° 10 of La Plata to determine exact responsibilities and the precise mechanics of the crash.
