According to Blotrr reports, eleven people were killed on late Wednesday morning when the trailer of a lumber truck decoupled and slammed into an oncoming passenger minibus in southern Chile, local authorities said on Thursday. Fifteen others were injured.
The accident occurred at around 11:40 a.m. local time on the Lanalhue Bridge, which connects Cañete and
Tirua in the province of Arauco, located in the Bio-Bio Region of the country. It happened when the trailer of a cargo truck carrying lumber decoupled, veered onto the other lane and slammed into the minibus.
Arauco Governor Flor Weisse initially said ten people were killed, but police later confirmed the death toll had risen to eleven. Among those killed were four men, including the bus driver, five women and two children. At least fifteen others were injured and transported to the nearby Cañete Hospital, where some remained in a critical condition.
