A street sweeper died after being struck by a garbage truck while on duty in La Plata. Images captured by a local security camera show the exact moment of the fatal accident, while one of the garbage collectors couldn't hide his despair when he saw the victim's body.

The tragic event occurred in the town of Tolosa before 9 a.m. on 117th Street, between 520th and 521st Avenue, in the El Churrasco neighborhood , where the victim, identified as Noelia Sosa, 38 , was sweeping and cleaning.

Suddenly, with the street sweeper's back turned, the truck reversing at full speed appears in the footage. It was then that the driver ran over the woman. The gestures of one of the garbage collectors, who was taking garbage bags from the bins and witnessed what happened, reflect the desperation of the moment.

When Emergency Medical Care System (SAME) personnel arrived at the scene following a 911 emergency call, they were able to confirm the death.

By order of the UFI No. 12 of La Plata, with the intervention of the Court of Guarantees No. 4 and the Ombudsman's Office No. 6, the Mercedes Benz garbage truck was seized to undergo the corresponding technical analysis required. In addition, a judicial case was initiated against the 58-year-old driver of the garbage truck for the crime of negligent homicide .

The sequence shows that first the woman, identified by her respective clothing, was sweeping the curb on one side of the street; then she crossed to the other side to continue her work.

The incident caused profound dismay in the neighborhood and among Noelia's colleagues. Residents of Tolosa gathered at the scene to demand justice, demanding greater safety measures for the cleaning staff and better working conditions.
