A truck’s mechanical malfunction resulted in a fatal motorcycle accident in Guatemala, claiming the life of a 24-year-old woman about to be married, and leaving her fiancé with severe injuries. The tragedy occurred mere days before the couple’s impending wedding ceremony.
Madelyn Rosely Caracun Perez and her soon-to-be husband, 29-year-old Davilson Gesell Canimac Miranda, were involved in the accident on December 4. They were delivering wedding invitations by motorcycle in Chicacao, a town in the Suchitepequez department of Guatemala.
Local authorities reported that a faulty transmission part from a nearby truck had dislodged, striking the motorcycle the couple was riding. Perez was ejected from the motorcycle and was pronounced dead at the scene. Miranda was seriously injured and immediately taken to a hospital.
The couple, as reported by “People,” had scheduled their wedding for December 14, 2024. Following the tragic incident, family members gathered at the accident site to pay respects. They are now urging a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the event.
The local community organized to aid the affected families with the unexpected expenses. A fundraising initiative was put together to help cover the cost of Miranda’s ongoing medical treatment and the funeral expenses for Perez.
An investigation into the truck’s mechanical failure has been initiated by local law enforcement. They are examining how the transmission part became dislodged. The identity of the truck driver and the company that owns the vehicle have not been disclosed to the public.
Miranda has been closely monitored by doctors during his stay in the hospital. The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time, while continuing to demand a thorough investigation into the incident.
In April 2024, another tragic incident occurred in Limeira, São Paulo, Brazil, where 38-year-old bride Elisângela Gazano lost her life during her wedding celebration. The event took place at a rented country house, where she was hosting a party for family and friends, coinciding with her daughter’s birthday.
While dancing near the swimming pool, Elisângela slipped and fell into the water. Despite immediate rescue attempts by guests and prompt medical attention, she suffered a cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
Elisângela, a mother of five, had shared her joy on social media just hours before the incident, posting photos of her signing the marriage documents. Her untimely passing has left her family and friends in deep mourning. A friend, Flavia Silva, expressed her condolences, highlighting Elisângela’s contagious joy and laughter.
The local community has been profoundly affected by this tragedy, with many offering support and condolences to the bereaved family during this difficult time.
