Tragedy Hits the Chivas Family
By: Andrea | October 21st, 2009
Rest in peace, Doctor Ricardo Herrera.
In the early hours of the morning the Chivas U-17 bus was struck by a cargo truck. Dr. Ricardo Herrera died at the scene due to a traumatic brain injury.
Two players were injured, as well as the physical trainer and the manager.
Oscar Torres and Cesar Vasquez received facial injuries. Corazein Pardo was injured as well. As of now, it seems like manager Manuel Martinez received the most serious injuries, suffering from a lower brain stem injury. He has gone through surgery, and according to Jorge Vergara is expected to be fine. Those four in the most critical condition are reported to be stable now at the hospital.
The driver disappeared from the scene, and his whereabouts are unknown.
The team was coming back from a 2-3 win at Torreon, and the U-20 bus was following close by and witnessed the accident as well.
Games are subject to change for the lower division teams, although that decision will be made later when the conditions of the players are better accounted for.
As for now, rest in peace Ricardo Herrera.
