Mother of Student Struck on Javier Prado Suffers Heart Attack as Son Remains in ICU

The family says mandatory crash insurance may be exhausted, deepening their need for help.

Overview

  • Fernando Guerrero, 21, remains in intensive care unconscious but has begun to move his extremities, according to his father.
  • His mother suffered a heart attack linked to the stress of the ordeal and is slated for surgery, the family told local media.
  • The car that hit Guerrero was driven by 81-year-old José Amaya de Dios, and security footage cited by the father shows the vehicle entering the median before impact.
  • The driver has not contacted the family directly, while his lawyer reached out and allegedly tried to place blame on the student.
  • The family's costs are currently covered by Peru’s SOAT policy, which the father fears may run out soon, prompting public appeals for financial support.
