A woman riding a motorcycle lost her leg following a collision in Colombia, according to grisly videos and reports.
Translated from Spanish via Google Translate:
“Heartbreaking and tragic scenes were experienced in the Barlovento sector, on the road between Piedecuesta and Curos, when a woman was left lying on the road after colliding with two vehicles.
Preliminarily, the woman was traveling on a motorcycle and was hit by another vehicle that made her fall to the asphalt. Another car that she passed caused the serious injury to her leg.
Her left leg was destroyed and awaiting medical evaluation to find out if it should be amputated after the serious injury suffered in the traffic accident.
Drivers and passengers of vehicles, especially motorcyclists, came to help her while an ambulance was present.
“That woman was writhing in pain, we hope she is saved, her leg was left with a very open wound, which we believe cannot be saved, the important thing is her life,” said a witness.
A paramedic who came to attend to the case applied a tourniquet to stop the bleeding while she was put on the stretcher and transferred in the ambulance.
The woman was transferred to a medical center to provide first aid while waiting to be referred to a more complex hospital.”
