Bus Driver Shot in Santa Catalina: Incident Highlights Dangers Amidst Transport Strike
Lima, Peru – In the early hours of Thursday, August 21st, a bus driver operating on the Santa Catalina route was reportedly shot and subsequently hospitalized. The incident occurred around 5:30 AM, according to a video shared online by a witness. The footage, captured outside what appears to be a hospital, shows a bus and individuals gathered. A voiceover in the video states that the driver sustained a gunshot wound and has been admitted to a local hospital. The speaker expressed frustration over the lack of unity among transport workers, suggesting that such incidents are a direct consequence of some drivers not participating in a broader transport strike. The speaker also implied a lack of support from government entities and transport authorities, stating that the Santa Catalina company is "consortiated with the state and corridors." The incident underscores ongoing tensions and safety concerns within the public transport sector, particularly for those continuing operations during periods of industrial action. Authorities have not yet released an official statement regarding the shooting.
