Vehicle falls into the Mapocho River in a shocking accident: driver had consumed alcohol<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Santiago, Chile \u2013 An early morning marked by chaos and recklessness ended in potential tragedy when a car fell into the Mapocho River after a violent accident in the heart of the capital. The driver, who miraculously survived, tested positive for alcohol.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday morning<\/strong> , at the intersection of Avenida Costanera Norte and Puente Pur\u00edsima<\/strong> , when a private vehicle lost control at high speed, broke the containment barrier and fell directly into the Mapocho River bed<\/strong> from a height of approximately 6 meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eyewitnesses immediately alerted emergency crews. \u201cIt was like something out of a movie. The car was going very fast, zigzagging, and suddenly went straight into the river. We thought no one would make it out alive,\u201d said a night worker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Carabineros reported that the driver, identified as Mat\u00edas C. (28 years old)<\/strong> , managed to get out of the car on his own after the impact. Despite suffering multiple minor injuries, he was found conscious on the riverbank. He was taken to the University of Chile Clinical Hospital, where he was stabilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hours later, the medical report was accompanied by a confirmation that set off alarm bells<\/strong> : the breathalyzer test revealed that the young driver had 1.3 grams of alcohol per liter of blood<\/strong> , meaning he was driving while intoxicated<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Car insurance<\/p>\n\n\n\n The incident sparked a wave of criticism on social media. \u201cHe could have killed someone else,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s not an accident, it\u2019s the result of irresponsibility,\u201d wrote internet users after the news broke. Fortunately, no other vehicles<\/a> were involved or pedestrians injured<\/strong> , given the time of the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Traffic authorities indicated that the stretch of the Costanera where the accident occurred is frequently used by speeding drivers. \u201cWe have repeatedly called for responsible driving, but this type of incident demonstrates that there are still those who don\u2019t understand the dangers of drunk driving,\u201d said Carabineros Commander Pablo \u00c1lvarez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Previous<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hace 20 minutos en Chicago, Jennifer Lopez ha sido confirmada como\u2026.Ver m\u00e1s<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/newshot.amazingstory.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-116.png\")
