CHINAUTA, CUNDINAMARCA, COLOMBIA – JANUARY 12, 2025 Tragic traffic accident occurred on the 58th kilometer of the Girardot-Bogotá highway. A red Kia passenger car crashed into a truck that was parked on the side of the road. One death has been confirmed, 3 other people were seriously injured.
Initial information suggests that the high speed of the car was to blame. The driver had almost no time to react. However, accidents like this often occur due to short-term driver inattention. All it takes is a change of song on the radio and at 70mph you can travel 102 feet in one second of inattention. That’s long enough for the situation ahead to change unexpectedly. Think about that when you get behind the wheel.
