One dead in highway race

A highway “race” on Monday morning (November 1) leading to a three vehicle collision, has left one dead, says Panama’s transit authority (ATTT).
The crash happened near the Super Xtra Las Acacias. A youth died when his vehicle
collided head on with a tree.

The ATTT and Traffic Police are investigating drivers raced in Las Acacias, Don Bosco, Concepcion and the North and South corridors.

The investigation began after public complaints. The ATTT encourages members of the public who witness races, to call 311 after noting the type of vehicle and the registration number or numbers.
