A serious traffic accident took place this Thursday afternoon at a gas station located in the Libertador municipality of Caracas, specifically on the main avenue of Maripérez. According to reports spread on social networks, a heavy-duty truck was involved in the accident, causing several damages and affecting several vehicles that were traveling through the area.
The videos captured by witnesses of the accident show how the truck, apparently due to a mechanical failure, lost control and collided at high speed against the vehicles and motorcycles that were on the road. The impact was so strong that the truck ended up crashing into the gas station, causing significant damage to the structure of the gas pump.
Crime reporter Román Camacho confirmed that the accident left "several injured." Following the incident, emergency agencies, including teams from the Bolivarian National Police (PNB) and paramedics, were quickly deployed in the area to assist those affected. Although an official report on the victims is still awaited, preliminary sources have indicated that there could be at least one fatality at the scene.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the exact causes of the accident, although it is presumed that mechanical failure in the truck was the main factor that caused the tragic event. Meanwhile, traffic in the vicinity of the service station is severely affected, causing chaos in the area.
