Drivers involved in bus accident indicted
A state judge indicted three drivers involved in the July 14 accident of a bus near San Felipe, the State Attorney General’s Office said.
The agency said the judge indicted Jorge, Luis Alfonso, and Jorge Alberto, whose ages were not disclosed.
The suspects were indicted for injuries and failure to provide aid.
On July 14, over 50 passengers got injured during the accident of a white 2015 Volvo bus that was being driven from coastal cities to the town of San Luis Gonzaga in the municipality of San Felipe.
According to the agent, Jorge Alberto was the main driver while Luis Alfonso was the substitute driver and Jorge was assigned as a maintenance auxiliary employee.
By the Puertecitos-San Felipe highway Jorge was driving the bus and due to lack of experience he lost control of the vehicle. The driver was allegedly under the influence, the agency said.
According to the authorities, the indicted men presumably left the injured passengers at the scene.
The judge decided to keep the suspects in prison during the trial and gave prosecutors six months to close the investigation.
