A heartbreaking accident in Guatemala resulted in the death of a 24-year-old woman who was soon to be married. Madelyn Rosely Caracun Perez was killed, and her fiancé, Davilson Gesell Canimac Miranda, 29, was critically injured when their motorcycle was hit by a component that came loose from a passing truck. The tragic incident happened just days before their wedding was to take place.
Perez and Miranda were delivering wedding invitations on their motorcycle in Chicacao, a town in the Suchitepequez department of Guatemala, when the accident occurred on December 4.
Local authorities reported that a mechanical defect in a nearby truck caused a part of its transmission to break off and strike the couple’s motorcycle. The impact caused Perez to be ejected from the vehicle, and she was declared dead at the scene of the accident. Miranda was seriously injured and had to be rushed to the hospital.
The couple had planned their wedding for December 14, 2024. Following the tragic event, their family members visited the accident site to pay their respects. They are now urging the authorities to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the accident.
The local community has started organizing support for the affected families to help them manage the financial burden caused by the accident. Fundraisers are being set up to help cover the costs of Miranda’s medical treatment and Perez’s funeral expenses.
Local law enforcement has initiated an investigation into the mechanical failure of the truck. They are attempting to piece together the sequence of events that led to the detachment of the transmission component. The identity of the truck driver and the company operating the vehicle have not been disclosed to the public.
Miranda remains in the hospital under medical supervision as doctors monitor his condition. The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time while continuing to urge a thorough investigation into the incident.
