Road safety incidents in Spain, Argentina, Mexico

Overview

The wave of hazardous road events that began in late July has continued, especially in Argentina. New reports describe further sabotage on the Rosario‑Córdoba highway near Funes, where bricks were deliberately placed on the pavement, damaging nine vehicles and prompting a police probe into a possible robbery attempt. On the Rosario‑Santa Fe highway a 61‑year‑old driver was trapped after his Chevrolet Prisma struck a stopped truck and was rescued with head trauma. Police also stopped a severely intoxicated 25‑year‑old motorcyclist in Oberá. A multi‑vehicle crash between Corzuela and Campo Largo seriously injured Livio Gutiérrez, president of Nuevo Banco del Chaco. A 24‑year‑old volunteer firefighter was killed in a head‑on collision in Córdoba, and three cyclists were injured, one with a broken leg, after a Renault Megane struck them near Nogoyá. Heavy fog in Tucumán and Santiago del Estero reduced visibility to under a kilometre, while ice and snow forced the closure of a Ruta 40 section in Neuquén, leaving a truck stranded. These incidents reinforce the ongoing escalation of road‑safety risks across Argentina, adding to earlier accidents in Spain and Mexico.
