Traffic accidents involving wheelchair users in Argentina

Overview

In early October, a fatal hit-and-run occurred in Posadas, Misiones, where a man in a wheelchair, identified as Plácido Facundo Martínez, was struck and dragged by a vehicle near the intersection of Marconi and Mariano Moreno avenues. The driver, operating a vehicle with Paraguayan license plates, reportedly fled toward Encarnación, Paraguay. Misiones Police initiated a search using surveillance footage to identify the driver.

On October 30, a second incident occurred in La Plata involving a 43-year-old man in a wheelchair who was struck by a car at the intersection of 13th and 84th streets. Security footage captured the vehicle striking the man from behind, throwing him onto the asphalt. The victim, who was found with minor bleeding from his mouth, was transported to Hospital Rossi by emergency medical services. The UFI N°14 prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into the matter, classifying it as a case of negligent injury, and has ordered forensic examinations of the scene and the seizure of the involved vehicle.
