Overview
- Bello’s Chevrolet Classic flipped late on January 8 at the Fontezuela descent curve on National Route 8, less than 10 km from Pergamino.
- Hidden by tall roadside grass with little phone signal, he stayed calm, cut vegetation with a knife, and used a fire extinguisher to create space inside the car.
- At daybreak he managed to extend part of his body through a window and waved a cloth to draw attention to his location.
- A truck driver noticed movement in the grass on the morning of January 9, alerted responders, and rescue teams freed Bello.
- He was taken to Hospital San José in Pergamino and discharged later that day, and media reports note that the crash cause has not been publicly determined.
