The injured man was transferred to the Aquilino Tejeira Hospital in Penonomé, according to Sub-Lieutenant Hernán Gutiérrez of the Benemérito Cuerpo de Bomberos (Meritorious Fire Department). The bodies of the two deceased people were trapped between the metal of the car body, so it was necessary to use hydraulic tools to free them.
