Traffic accidents in La Florida
Overview
In early October 2026, a Carabineros patrol car struck four pedestrians—three women and one man—at an intersection in the La Florida commune of Santiago. The incident occurred while officers were responding to a call for support; preliminary reports suggest the driver performed an evasive maneuver due to a public transport bus changing lanes. The victims were treated by emergency services and were reported to be out of life-threatening danger.
Later in the month, a multi-vehicle collision involving five vehicles occurred in the same commune at the intersection of Avenida Las Perdices and Avenida Alto Macul. The accident took place during heavy rain and thunderstorms, with investigators suggesting the crash may have been caused by slippery road conditions or a potential brake failure on a truck.
