A woman has died and another remains in serious condition after falling from a height of 20 meters with a buggy in the Roferos area, between Teseguite and Guatiza. The 45-year-old woman who remains in critical condition has a traumatic brain injury and has been transferred by firefighters to the road to be evacuated to the Doctor José Molina Orosa hospital in a medicalized ambulance.

The events occurred at 3:30 p.m. this Monday, as confirmed by the Emergency Coordination Center (CECOES).

Apparently, the vehicle would have left the road, lost control and fallen down the ravine. According to La Voz, it is a foreign mother and daughter who were on vacation and had rented the buggy. It was the mother, who was about 60 years old, who died.
