Pinamar Crash Victim, 8, Undergoes Ileostomy After New Complication

Prosecutors have charged three drivers in the case with aggravated negligent injury.

Overview

  • Doctors performed an ileostomy to remove part of the child’s intestine after adhesions formed again.
  • The procedure raises his tally to more than ten surgeries since the dune collision in Pinamar.
  • An ileostomy diverts waste through an opening in the abdomen to let the intestine heal when blockages or damage persist.
  • Two weeks earlier, a CT scan looked improved and doctors placed a new valve, yet complications later returned.
  • His mother, Macarena Collantes, announced the latest surgery on Instagram and the case now lists three accused: Amarok driver Manuel Molinari, UTV driver Noemí Quirós, and the boy’s father, Maximiliano Jerez.
