# Hit-and-run incidents in Colombia > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/hit-and-run-incidents-in-colombia > Updated: 2026-09-10T13:12:01.000Z. Sources: 9. Developments: 2. Authorities in Colombia are investigating multiple hit-and-run incidents across different regions. In late August, an elderly man died on the Cúcuta-Puerto Santander road following a series of collisions. Reports indicate an initial impact occurred near a transit parking lot, after which the driver fled. Due to darkness and road conditions, subsequent vehicles struck the victim's body multiple times before bystanders could secure the scene. In September, new fatalities and injuries have been reported. On September 9, a 68-year-old farmer, identified as Julián Ramón Ortiz Amaya, died following an accident on the road connecting Riohacha and Cuestecitas in the Guajira department. Ortiz Amaya was struck by a vehicle near the Villa Martín corregimiento; the driver fled the scene immediately. Although bystanders transported him to Hospital San Rafael in Albania, he passed away during a transfer to a medical center in Maicao. Other recent incidents include a person in Bucaramanga who sustained serious injuries after being hit by a white vehicle. In that case, the driver fled but left behind a license plate and bumper fragments, which authorities are using to assist their investigation. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-10: Farmer dies in hit-and-run accident near Riohacha A 68-year-old farmer, Julián Ramón Ortiz Amaya, died in a hit-and-run accident on the Riohacha-Cuestecitas road in Colombia. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/colombia-authorities-investigate-two-separate-hit-and-run-incidents ### 2026-08-26: Cúcuta-Puerto Santander road fatality involves multiple hit-and-runs An elderly man was killed in multiple hit-and-run incidents on the Cúcuta-Puerto Santander road in Colombia after a driver fled the initial scene. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ccuta-puerto-santander-road-fatality-involves-multiple-hit-and-runs --- Cite as: Hit-and-run incidents in Colombia.
