ROSARIO, SANTA FE, ARGENTINA – JANUARY 21, 2025 Tragic accident claimed the lives of a mother, Tania Gandolfi, 41, and her daughter, Agustina García, 16, when they were struck by a speeding car while standing on a sidewalk. The incident occurred at the intersection of Wheelwright and Presidente Roca, a busy area in Rosario.

The family, visiting from Córdoba, was hit by a Peugeot 206 driven by 20-year-old Agustín López Gagliasso, who was reportedly traveling at around 75 mph (120kph). Witnesses claim he was involved in an illegal street race with a motorcycle that fled the scene after the crash. Losing control of his vehicle, López Gagliasso veered onto the sidewalk, fatally striking the family.

The youngest daughter, six-year-old Victoria García, sustained serious injuries and was transported to Víctor J. Vilela Hospital, where she remains in stable condition. Her injuries did not require surgery. The father, Diego García, 45, was physically unharmed but is receiving psychological support following the devastating loss of his wife and daughter.

A witness, Federico, recounted the emotional aftermath: “The father approached the driver and screamed, ‘You took my daughter from me.’ He was inconsolable. A police officer had to restrain him; otherwise, he might have killed the driver.” The driver, visibly dazed after the crash, was attacked by bystanders before police intervened.

Further investigation uncovered videos showing López Gagliasso recklessly driving with a young woman seated on his lap, reflecting his disregard for safety.

Prosecutor Mariana Prunotto classified the case as “simple homicide with eventual intent, aggravated by multiple victims and excessive speed in an urban area.” Rosario’s Secretary of Government, Sebastián Chale, condemned the act, stating, “This was a criminal act.”

The tragedy sparked outrage on social media platforms, where the driver was quickly identified and publicly condemned. Police are continuing their investigation into the circumstances of the crash.
