According to information from Semana, the minibus, which was traveling with 13 people, ended up overturned on the road, leaving nine people injured, three of them minors, who were sent to the Luis Pasteur Hospital, in the municipality of Melgar, Cundinamarca.

And in dialogue with La Fm, he added that “of the six injured adults, one of them has facial trauma and another has a diagnosis of craniocerebral trauma, so a transfer to another more complex care center is not ruled out. Meanwhile, the remaining four remain stable.”
