UPDATE (September 27, 2024): Details identified the man killed in the accident as 27-year-old Oscar Aquino Alonso. There are no other confirmed details right now, and I can’t help wondering if authorities have been more thorough behind the scenes. Single-vehicle wrecks aren’t always seen as a high priority, so families sometimes find themselves weeks or months down the line just as in the dark as they were after the accident. Hopefully authorities here have been able to get clearer answers than what they’ve said publicly, but it wouldn’t be the first time if they came up short.
