The victim was identified as Jorge Luis Escalante Rodas, 35 years old, who was an employee of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, as confirmed by institutions such as the Vice Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Public Works through obituaries published on social networks.
During 2024, more than 414 motorcyclists have lost their lives in road accidents, a figure slightly higher than in 2023, according to the National Road Safety Observatory.
