Video: the accident that Palacios was involved in in Retiro

In the last few hours, images of the Retiro service station were known where soccer player Tiago Palacios hit a pump after winning the League Cup with Estudiantes de La Plata this Sunday.

After the impact, it was found that Palacios was driving with 1.84 grams of alcohol per liter in his blood, that is, almost three times more than what is allowed in the City of Buenos Aires. Although he was unharmed and exited the vehicle under his own power, a T-shirt from the service station had to be taken to Fernández Hospital due to trauma to both legs. She is now out of danger and has been discharged.

According to official sources indicated to Infobae, Palacios was arrested and taken to the Highway Police Station of the City Police, in Parque Avellaneda, under the accusation of minor negligent injuries and driving under the influence of alcohol. He was released a day later.

Later, he was investigated via Zoom. The Estudiantes de La Plata footballer refused to testify and, outside of the cause, he was provisionally disqualified from driving for a period of one year, with the possibility of extending the period. Palacios must comply with some conditions imposed by the court in the case: attend all court summonses, establish residence and will be prohibited from leaving the country without prior notice and authorization.

Meanwhile, the club leaders did not announce if They will carry out football or economic sanctions.

The accident occurred this Monday in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Retiro, after the 23-year-old man hit the pump of a Shell service station – located on Paseo del Bajo and the Illia highway – early in the morning. Palacios was driving a white Jeep Compass Limited truck. According to authorities, he first hit the sign that shows fuel prices, and then hit a cone and one of the pumps. Witnesses to the incident explained to police that the woman who was injured was trying to avoid the collision.

The Estudiantes team had arrived in Buenos Aires after their victory hours before, around midnight last Sunday, on a private plane, from Santiago del Estero. Around 2 in the morning they arrived at the City Bell property. Palacios was not part of the celebrations that took place this week at the Municipality of La Plata, where the rest of the club’s team was present.
