Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador assisted people who were injured at midday today on Constitución Boulevard near the Integración roundabout, when a tractor-trailer suffered mechanical failure and ran over 5 cars.

First responders from Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador were alerted, and vehicle rescue and medical units immediately arrived at the scene, where five people had suffered injuries. They were stabilized and transported to various hospitals in the capital.

The tractor-trailer driver was rescued by members of the Vehicle Rescue Unit of Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador and was taken to a medical center for the injuries he sustained.

One of the people who had been freed by passersby in the area and who was traveling in the car dragged several meters by the tractor-trailer was rushed to a hospital with severe trauma.

On March 14, a tractor-trailer dragged nearly 30 cars, leaving two people dead and dozens injured when its brake system failed as it was descending Los Próceres Boulevard toward San Salvador.

In another incident, at kilometer 21 of the road leading to El Salvador International Airport, a new traffic accident left two people injured, who were taken to the Social Security hospital by units from Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador.
