Midday on Thursday brought a jarring scene to the Parque Batlle neighborhood. Three vehicles became entangled in a serious crash. It happened on Luis Alberto de Herrera, specifically between Talcahuano and Santiago Gadea.
A Citroen Berlingo van was driving along the avenue. It was heading from Pocitos towards La Blanqueada. Suddenly, a Hyundai HB20 tried to cross its path. The Hyundai aimed to enter the avenue.
This sudden move forced the van to swerve sharply. The Citroen then crossed into another lane. There, it collided with a third car, a Chevrolet Celta. The woman driving the Chevrolet Celta was badly hurt. She suffered a broken leg, according to reports from News Agency. The other drivers were lucky.
