A blind couple was run over this afternoon while attempting to cross the intersection of 11ª. Calle Oriente and Avenida España in San Salvador.

Rescuers from Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador came to their aid, managing to stabilize the victims, who had suffered trauma to different parts of their bodies after the driver of a vehicle struck them.

The people with disabilities were identified as Jonathan Madrid, 55, and Nancy Nerio, 35. Both were taken to the emergency room of the Social Security Hospital in Colonia Atlacatl.

So far, it is unknown whether the driver responsible was arrested or left the scene of the accident.
