The deputy attorney general, Martha Mancera, explained that they have more than 849 evidence, like videos from 17 security cameras, 13 affidavits, on-site inspection, 700 photos of the reconstruction of the events and the
body of Freddy Rincon,
to ensure that he was driving the truck that collided with the MIO feeder bus. Besides Legal Medicine revealed that the footballer would not have the belt on properly.
“At 4:15 a.m. they leave the place where they ate food, from that moment Freddy Rincón starts driving the truck and at 4:18 a.m., that is, 3 minutes later, the vehicle collides with the MIO bus”explained Deputy Prosecutor Mancera.
He added that, at 4:25 in the morning, the ambulance arrived and the paramedic saw a man in the driver’s seat, but with the seat belt only at the two lower points. That is, as if the belt had been placed under the armpit. This hypothesis is confirmed legal Medicine.
On the subject, Jorge Eduardo Paredes, a forensic expert from Legal Medicine, He explained that, according to the autopsy, Rincón did not have a severe trauma, but that the cause of death would have been due to a sudden movement of the brain, which led to hemorrhage. The movement would have been produced not only by the shock, but by not wearing the seat belt properly.
“If he had been the co-pilot, he must have had a severe trauma on the right side of the body, according to the medical history, it was never like that. All his chest and abdomen organs, everything was fine, there are no severe injuries. With the size of Freddy Rincón, if he had gone as a co-pilot he would have a severe trauma “, the expert pointed out.
In turn, he pointed out that in the event that Freddy had been in the co-pilot’s position, his right side of the body would have suffered a strong trauma: “Not even the necropsy documents this type of injury or fracture, so much so that he was never treated by orthopedics. All his chest and abdomen organs were in good condition”explained the medical examiner.
In other words, according to experts, not wearing the seat belt correctly of security, Rincón’s body had stronger displacements than the rest of the passengers, which led to a cerebral hemorrhage.
“As the seat belt was not being used properly, they allow strong movements with the Kinetic energy and rotational movements of acceleration and deceleration are created and we have a hemorrhage-type injury due to acceleration movements, not due to contusive impact”, concluded the forensic expert.
In addition, doctor Paredes explained that the co-pilot, named Manuela, survived because he was wearing his seatbelt properly and because of his anatomy.
“The passenger did have trauma, mainly in the lower limbs, mainly on the right side. She survives because her belt was very well placed, because she is a thin person and when she compresses the vehicle, she can fall perfectly ”he added.
Regarding the breathalyzer test in Rincón, The deputy prosecutor explained that when he arrived at the Imbanaco clinic they immediately proceeded to try to save his life. However, the entity has already asked the clinic to transfer, if it has them, the remnants of blood sampling. The entity is waiting for these results to be able to do the screening.
“For the others it will be very difficult to determine the level of alcohol, for the prosecution only the evidence with an analysis in our laboratory would say whether or not they were under the influence of alcohol., Mancera said.
This, taking into account that Nubia, Diana and José Luis were in the back of the vehicle.
