Overview
- Last Friday Pais’s Honda City was struck by a Tren de la Costa train at a level crossing in San Isidro after security cameras show the car crossing diagonally while the barriers were down and the train horn sounded.
- A preliminary autopsy found a severe traumatic brain injury and internal wounds consistent with a high-impact collision and investigators have taken blood and urine samples for toxicology that remain pending.
- Fiscal Carolina Asprella ordered a forensic examination of Pais’s iPhone 16 to check calls and messages from the minutes before the crash but technicians still need to obtain access to the device, which may delay analysis.
- Director José María Muscari testified as a witness, denied speaking with Pais at the time of the accident and said he presented himself to avoid summoning her son to give testimony.
- Pais’s driving record showing a license suspension since April and the suspension of theatrical performances are recorded in the file and investigators say next steps include vehicle accidentology reports and review of multiple camera feeds.
