The accident happened on Wednesday night (15 Nov) on a road between Cajicá and Chía north of Bogotá, Colombia. The cause of the crash is still under investigation. They are examining how fast he was going before the smash. One local said: “Life gave him a second chance to see if the rich kid, pampered by mummy and daddy, stops being so foolish.” Another wrote: “By speeding recklessly, these spoiled kids never learn. “The worst part is that the parents end up paying the price. “Either financially or, in another unfortunate scenario, burying their children.” The minimum legal age to drive in Colombia is 16. According to the country’s Transport Ministry, 308 people died in road accidents in the first half of this year. This is up from 281 deaths in the first six months of 2022.
