Fatal Drive Home in Esperanza

A drive home on the Western Highway was deadly last night for an Esperanza villager.

46-year-old Pedro Caretella was heading east on the Western Highway from Benque Viejo when between miles 70 and 71 he lost control of his Isuzu Trooper. The vehicle flipped and Caretella was launched out of the vehicle, landing 50 feet away. He was pronounced dead on arrival at the San Ignacio hospital.
