At around two in the morning, a traffic accident was reported on the Western Pan-American Highway at kilometer 35, in the direction from Quezaltepeque toward the Claudia Lars roundabout.
The incident was reported after the driver of a pickup truck was unable to stop, crashing into a tractor-trailer that was attempting to enter a business in the area.
In the accident, a woman who was traveling as a passenger became trapped among the twisted metal.
Members of the Rescue Unit of Comandos de Salvamento, sections of Ciudad Arce and Quezaltepeque, used hydraulic equipment to free the victim and stabilize her.
Silvia Guadalupe Orellana, 42, suffered multiple traumatic injuries. After being freed, she was handed over to the medical team from the Medical Emergency System to be taken to a medical facility.
