Members of the Vehicle Rescue and Pre-Hospital Care Unit of Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador responded tonight to a traffic accident reported on 50ª. Avenida Norte and Bulevar del Ejército, which left at least one woman trapped and two others injured.

The incident occurred at around six-thirty tonight on Bulevar del Ejército, heading from San Salvador to Soyapango, when the driver of a minibus crashed into the rear of a public-transport bus traveling to Soyapango.

In the traffic accident, 29-year-old Mayra Alejandra Flores Osequeda, who was traveling in the front of the Route 41 A minibus, became trapped among the twisted metal. Members of the Vehicle Rescue Unit of Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador, using their hydraulic equipment, managed to free her so she could be taken to Hospital Militar.

The other two injured people were treated and taken to medical centers. In the traffic accident, the Route 41 A minibus also collided with a sedan-type vehicle. Following the impact, the bus driver collided with another vehicle that was traveling through the area.
