The string of serious accidents that began with fatal collisions on Ruta 7 (July 10), Ruta 11 (July 11) and the head‑on crash on Ruta Provincial 88 (July 15) continued through the month. On July 16 a Vía TAC bus lost stability while crossing a bridge on National Route 7 near Carmen de Areco during a severe windstorm, falling several metres and injuring 19 passengers, including a baby, but causing no deaths. July 17 saw a front‑end collision on Route 4 near La Carlota, Córdoba, killing both occupants of a Citroën Berlingo while the truck driver escaped with minor injuries. July 18 brought a Tu Bus in Buenos Aires into a house after the driver suffered a medical episode, and a separate bus‑collision in Pachuca, Mexico injured four passengers. A broader report added several Argentine incidents: a 35‑year‑old pedestrian was killed by a high‑performance motorcycle in Puerto Iguazú; a young motorcyclist in Concordia was seriously injured after colliding with a Volkswagen Gol while riding without lights or a helmet; a car in General Roca was rear‑ended and driven away; a municipal crane’s illegal U‑turn in Mar del Plata crashed into a family’s RAM van, injuring three municipal officers; a vehicle struck a fuel pump on Route 12 near Empedrado; and a crash on Route 22 near Plaza Huincul left a woman with a skull fracture. On July 21 a severe collision on the Autovía Gervasio Artigas (Route 14) involved a Renault Alaskan van and a Mercedes Benz truck, killing a 13‑year‑old girl and a 49‑year‑old woman. The van driver and a 14‑year‑old passenger were seriously injured; emergency crews from several fire brigades, police and medical services rescued the trapped occupants and transported the injured to hospitals. On July 31 further accidents were reported.
