Ailén Dahiana Pinto and Dalma Herrera, originally from Loreto, died in a traffic accident that occurred in the early hours of Saturday at kilometre 1105 of National Route 9, in Árraga. Two other people were injured.
The community of Loreto is in mourning following the tragic death of two young women in a traffic accident that took place in the early hours of Saturday on National Route 9, at kilometre 1105, in the locality of Árraga. The victims were identified as Ailén Dahiana Pinto and Dalma Herrera, both residents of the city of Loreto.
According to police sources, the accident occurred around 2:30 a.m., when a white Toyota Corolla travelling south-north lost control for reasons that are still under investigation. The vehicle left the roadway and ended up on the shoulder, crashing violently. As a result of the impact, Pinto and Herrera died at the scene.
The other two occupants of the car, who were also travelling at the time of the accident, were rescued alive and urgently transported to a medical facility for treatment. Authorities have not specified their health status or whether they are out of danger.
The news of the fatal outcome caused deep shock in Loreto, the hometown of the four people who were in the vehicle. Family members, friends, and neighbours expressed their grief through social media, where farewell messages and condolences multiplied.
“We express our sincerest condolences and send a fraternal hug to their family, friends, and loved ones in the face of this irreparable loss,” read one of the messages shared on digital platforms.
Other acquaintances dedicated prayers in memory of the young women: “Lord, receive her in your holy glory and grant comfort to those who mourn her absence today.”
The accident occurred on National Route 9, a heavily trafficked road that connects various localities in northern Argentina. Traffic authorities are working at the scene to determine the exact causes of the accident. Factors such as speed or road conditions are not ruled out as having influenced the incident, although the investigation remains open.
The community of Loreto, for its part, has come together to support the families of the deceased during this time of sorrow. It is expected that funeral services will take place in the coming hours, although there are still no official details regarding the date and location.
This tragic event adds to other traffic accidents that have occurred on the same route in recent months, reigniting the debate over road safety in the area. Local organizations have called for increased lighting and signage in the most dangerous sections, such as kilometre 1105, where the accident occurred.
Police authorities continue to gather testimonies and analyze evidence at the scene to clarify what happened. Meanwhile, the community of Loreto bids farewell with sorrow to Ailén Dahiana Pinto and Dalma Herrera, two young women whose departure leaves an irreparable void among their loved ones.
