Family Shares First Hospital Photo of Bastián Jerez as Prosecutor Advances Pinamar Crash Case

The eight-year-old remains in intensive care after multiple surgeries, with testimony now scheduled in the aggravated-injury investigation.

Overview

  • His mother posted the first image from Hospital Italiano de San Justo, asking for prayers and noting a CT scan was planned to check his head and a recently placed valve.
  • Bastián has undergone nine operations and was transferred by air from Mar del Plata to the San Justo facility in early February after initial emergency care.
  • Prosecutor Sergio García set statements in the case, with Facundo Corro to testify remotely on February 26 and the boy’s mother, Macarena Collantes, on March 3.
  • Three people are formally charged with aggravated negligent injuries: Manuel Molinari, who drove the Amarok; Noamí Quirós, who drove the UTV; and the boy’s father, Maximiliano Jerez.
  • Media reports citing forensic tests indicate at least one driver had alcohol in their system, a finding under review as the investigation continues.
