Overview
- The truck, which overturned Friday afternoon on Route 40 in Luján de Cuyo, spilled Chile-to-Brazil olive oil that people quickly carried away.
- Local reconstructions say a Toyota Hilux boxed in the Scania, the driver swerved to the shoulder, then struck a parked semi, which caused the trailer to roll.
- Influencer Julia (Julaa) Greco recorded herself urging a friend to grab bottles, posted the clip to her 340,000-plus followers, and the video went viral with strong backlash.
- Officers moved in to secure the area as some in the crowd threw stones at police vehicles, and reports from the scene say the clash ended without serious injuries.
- Hours after the crash, the same brand of oil showed up for sale on Facebook Marketplace near the site, and local outlets report authorities are expected to pursue inquiries.
