The criminal trial against Oscar González begins its seventh day of hearings in the province of Córdoba to clarify the traffic accident that occurred on October 29, 2022, on the Altas Cumbres road. In that incident, Alejandra Bengoa died, while Marina Bengoa and Alexa Miranda suffered serious injuries. During this Tuesday's session, the intervening court will receive the technical reports presented by specialists to specify the operational responsibilities in the accident.
The first formal presentation of the day will be made by Ramiro Ojeda, in his capacity as official expert in traffic accidentology for the case. The professional will detail the scientific aspects related to the impact site, the trajectories followed by the vehicles, and the estimated speed at the time of the collision. Additionally, the specialist will analyze the material evidence that may confirm a possible lane invasion by the vehicles involved in the incident.
Subsequently, the specialist Álvaro Zaragoza will present a virtual recreation incorporated into the judicial file to graphically observe the sequence of events. This technical contribution aims to contrast the digital reconstructions with the testimonies gathered in the courtroom. The incorporation of these studies is crucial to cross-reference the physical evidence observed with the testimonies of eyewitnesses.

Testimonies from the case and evidence from the experts
In the hearing held on Monday, the driver Roberto Pablo Carranza testified, who was driving the truck that was allegedly overtaken in a double yellow line by the Renault Sandero vehicle driven by Alejandra Bengoa. The witness stated that he did not directly witness the moment of the collision between the cars. However, the truck driver noted that after hearing a loud noise, he saw “the cars in the air” on the provincial road.
The truck driver estimated that the collision occurred 80% in the lane he was traveling in, heading from Mina Clavero toCórdoba, and 20% in the opposite lane. The scientific evaluations will seek to confirm or dismiss these perceptions from those who were traveling on the mountainous artery at the time of the incident. The expert day aims to provide precision regarding the technical behavior of the involved units.
The court will proceed in the following days with the reception of new evidence aimed at completing the map of the Altas Cumbres traffic accident. The data provided by the digital reconstructions will allow for a precise determination of the final speed and movements of each vehicle. The resolution of the judicial process will depend on the integration of the collected testimonial statements and the traffic accidentology expert reports.
