In Corrientes, a head-on collision between a car and a truck resulted in the tragic death of three people. The incident occurred at kilometer 519 of Route 12, where a Chevrolet Prisma car collided directly with a truck.

Authorities have yet to provide official information about the accident, but it is presumed that the mission vehicle swerved after hitting a water pool on the roadway.
Preliminary investigations indicate that aquaplaning may have triggered the tragic accident. The victims of the accident, whose identities have not yet been confirmed, died on the spot, according to local media reports.
Aquaplaning is a phenomenon that occurs when a vehicle's tires lose grip with the asphalt due to a layer of water. To prevent such situations, it is essential to check tire pressure, adjust speed, deactivate cruise control, and remain alert to large puddles on the road.
