Difficulty in reaching the scene
On Saturday, the deputy commander of Colombia Provincial Company, Jacqueline Salvatori, confirmed that the accident was fatal, but it refused to reveal the death toll.
“The accident occurred in the middle of a very muddy field, so it is difficult to reach,” Salvatore said at a press conference near the site of the accident, about 80 km (50 miles) south of Albani.
The National Transport Safety Council said it had sent an investigation team.
The team is expected to provide additional details about the investigation later today.
