Popayán (HRNW)- A tragic accident occurred during a monster truck exhibition event in the southern Colombian city of Popayán, where a vehicle lost control and plowed into spectators, resulting in the deaths of at least two people, including a 10-year-old girl, and injuries to around 37 others. According to reports, the truck crossed a safety barrier but failed to stop in time, driving directly into the crowd and causing panic at the event. Initial information suggests that the driver was unable to control the vehicle, while some reports have also raised the possibility of a mechanical failure. Rescue teams, including local authorities, firefighters, and ambulance services, responded quickly to the scene, carrying out emergency operations and shifting the injured to nearby hospitals for treatment.
