Comandos de Salvamento, using a Vehicle Rescue Unit, freed Carlos García Trejo, 33, to be handed over to the judicial and police authorities for the legally required identification.

Meanwhile, on Avenida Masferrer in Colonia Escalón, a minibus collided with a vehicle, leaving 6 people injured. Two of them were taken to medical centers, while the others were treated at the scene of the accident.

Minutes later, Comandos de Salvamento volunteers treated Iveth Cañadas Ramos, 45, who had open frontal trauma. She was stabilized and subsequently admitted to ISSS General. This incident occurred at 29 Calle Oriente and 6° Avenida Norte.

According to the victim’s companion, a PNC patrol struck her when she was attempting to cross the roadway.

Two motorcyclists were injured when the motorcycle on which they were traveling crashed on Bulevar Tutunichapa, in front of the Isidro Menéndez courthouse building, in San Salvador.

The victims were identified as Stevens Noé Portillo, 27, who had frontal and occipital trauma, as well as a companion.
