“Though it took several shocks, the truck was destroyed. The truck moved 3 meters and fell into a dry river that was deep enough. The drought saved that too,” he continued.
“He went into a house, as if lost. He saw some people and asked them for help. He thought he had been robbed, completely beside himself. Didn’t understand anything. People saw his face Despite being destroyed, recognized him and helped him,” commented San Juan.
“His wife, Perla, is always with him in intensive care, she is a tigress. She is with him 24 hours a day. He calls her when he wakes up. Little by little he is coming back to himself.. .
