A man identified as Ricardo Sosa Retina, 32, died when a bus hit him while riding his bicycle without any safety equipment. This happened in front of the Hotel San Isidro in Villa, on the South highway.
According to the story of several witnesses, the cyclist was on the side of the road to Buenos Aires and the San Isidro-Palmaris bus was behind him, but for reasons that are still unknown, he lost control and he ran over him.
These people said that the public transport vehicle passed over him and one of his tires crushed his head, causing him to die instantly. The absence of a helmet, lights, and reflective vest influenced the bus driver not to observe him.
The Red Cross was the first to arrive at the site, verified a head injury and for that reason they declared him deceased. William Murillo of the Traffic Police added that the bus driver was given the respective exams to rule out any sign of alcohol. “The bus is in order, while the driver was tested for alcohol and came out negative,” he said.

In the comments of his neighbors, they remember him as a humble, hard-working, responsible, respectful, and loving man of his family.
