Buenos Aires, March 19 (NA) – The mother of Bastián Jerez, the eight-year-old boy recovering two months after an accident, posted a video about her son's hospitalization and expressed that "it is her greatest pride." "Today I want to share a piece of our story… A path we did not choose, but that taught us how strong love can be," begins the text written by Macarena Collantes on her personal Instagram account. The woman stated that the minor's "strength" is her support, his "struggle inspires her," and added: "Your love gives me the hope I need to keep going." "Thank you to all those who accompany, who pray, who are… because on this path we are not alone. We are starting the countdown," she concluded. In the audiovisual material, images of Bastián's hospitalization at the Italian Hospital of San Justo are shown, to which he was transferred after being hospitalized in a sanatorium in Mar del Plata. More than two months after the collision between a UTV—in which the boy was traveling with his father and a 24-year-old woman—and a Volkswagen Amarok, Jerez is recovering gradually. Maximiliano Jerez, Manuel Molinari (the truck driver), and Naomi Quirós are accused of the crime of aggravated negligent injuries.
