The brother of the young Argentine woman who was run over in Cozumel spoke and said that her leg was amputated

Darian Stacco and Luz Arias, the two young people born in Bahía Blanca who were run over by a police patrol on the Mexican island of Cozumel, are in serious condition, but their family already has the money to move them to Argentina in the next few hours, thanks to an anonymous donation. This was revealed by Arias’ brother, who said that the woman had to have her leg amputated and that due to the complexity of her condition they still do not know if she will be able to return to the country.

“We have to see if the doctor recommends transferring her because only one person can come on the plane lying down and she would have to come sitting down,” Julio Arias told FM Of the Bay. “I don’t know if she is in a position to be transferred,” he said after confirming his sister’s operation in the last few hours.

Meanwhile, Stacco is admitted to intensive care in a private clinic on the island, a tourist center located approximately 50 kilometers from Carmen beach. There they offered a payment plan to his family, who asked for collaboration so that the young people can return to the country and be treated here, since -according to what they specified- in the public medical centers of Cozumel they could not provide them with sufficient medical services.

What happened

“My brother had traveled to Mexico on Tuesday to look for a job opportunity. He had two friends who were already there working. A few days ago he had gotten an interview with one of the girls and they had rented a motorcycle to go to the place. On one of the journeys, a police patrol that was just in an emergency rammed them; This mobile came at high speed, without alarms or sirens on, ”he told TELEFE Bahia Blanca Stacco’s sister, Stephanie, regarding the traffic accident that occurred last Saturday.

“They rammed them and they flew through the air. darian He is unconscious and they practically did not treat him because, being a red code, they referred him to the closest private clinic and in order to be treated they need us to pay $20,000 and $6,000 per day for hospitalization,” he said. Stephaniewho revealed that given the impossibility of paying such amounts, his brother was “on the same board” in which the ambulance took him, “with his ribs piercing his lungs.”

For his part, Arias was given first aid by the same troops that were on cell phone 7125 of the Public Security Directorate involved in the incident at the time of impact and by the people who were circulating in that place.

Meanwhile, the doctors performed a tracheotomy on Stacco to tube him and thus keep him alive, according to the sister, who spoke before getting the money to bring the young man back to Argentina. “From Mexico They said that municipal hospitals do not have this equipment that he needs to be able to undergo surgery. We urgently need to be able to obtain this medical plane that charges us $85,000 to bring it and have it assisted here in Argentinain the way it deserves and needs”, Stephanie asserted at the time, before an anonymous collaborator decided to contribute money to this cause and thus facilitate the transfer of the injured.

“The medical coverage of the insurance that he had for renting the motorcycle only covered access to the hospital. The interventions or what has to be done afterwards, they charge in dollars”, said the boy’s sister regarding the attention in Mexico.
