The vehicle carrying the football team from the University of San Martín de Porres skidded off the road this afternoon on the Fernando Belaúnde Terry highway near the city of Moyobamba. The members of the delegation led by Orlando Lavalle were unharmed but were very scared.
The accident occurred at 5:40 p.m. during a torrential rain near the Indoche bridge, when a truck closed the passage to the vehicle belonging to 'Turismo Selva.' The vehicle was carrying passengers from the district of Nueva Cajamarca to the Tarapoto airport.
The players who were in the vehicle are: Ricardo Farro, Saúl Salas, Roberto Aparicio, Ramiro Ríos, Álvaro Ampuero, Wilder Cartagena, Jordan Guivin, Junior Ponce, J. Vélez, H. Arakaki, and Ramiro Cáceres. They had to be assisted by another unit to continue their return journey.
The Highway Police were informed of the accident and the driver of the truck that caused the accident has not yet been identified. The San Martín de Porres delegation is already at the Tarapoto airport.
