Tucumán woman dies after multi-vehicle accident on Route 329
Anahí Florencia Arrieta, a 21-year-old woman from the El Clavillo neighborhood in Concepción, has died following a serious traffic accident on Provincial Route 329. The collision occurred in the early hours of Saturday, August 29, near the town of Medinas in southern Tucumán.
The accident involved three vehicles: a Fiat 700 E tractor towing two trailers, a Renault Oroch pickup truck, and a 110cc Motomel Blitz motorcycle. Arrieta was a passenger in the pickup truck. The impact caused her to suffer severe traumatic brain injury, a skull fracture, and multiple other injuries.
After the incident, Arrieta was initially treated at the Hospital Regional de Concepción before being transferred to Hospital Padilla in San Miguel de Tucumán for specialized care. She was eventually moved to a private clinic, where she passed away after more than a month of hospitalization.
A teenager traveling on the motorcycle, identified as Francis Emanuel Santillán, sustained multiple injuries to his left leg but has since been discharged from medical care. Local police and scientific investigators are continuing to examine the circumstances of the crash.
