The family of 8-year-old Catalina, who was run over by a patrol car in the city of Plottier (Neuquén province), will hold a prayer chain on Monday at the gate of Castro Rendón Hospital, where the girl is hospitalized. According to the Argentine News Agency (NA), citing local media, the event will take place at 9 PM on Buenos Aires Street, with the goal of praying for the victim's health, who remains in the intensive care unit. According to the medical bulletin, the patient continues to be under mechanical respiratory assistance, in a state of permanent sedation, and her evolution is "very slow". Catalina was riding a bicycle with a friend in the Los Álamos neighborhood when she was brutally hit by the police vehicle, which was traveling at high speed. The victim was surgically operated on to decompress the inflammation in the brain, while she also suffered injuries to her ankles and a wrist. Her loved ones are awaiting the results of the accident investigation, which will be key to moving forward with the investigation.
