Man Injured in Bus Crash Will Need Ten Operations

(Panama-Guide) (Source: TVN Noticias)  Even though he was sitting in the last seat in the back of the bus that crashed on the Coastal Strip on Sunday, 24 year-old Esteban Ortega was the most seriously injured. He was trapped for several hours under the twisted metal of the bus, losing part of the skin of his right arm and the tendons of three of his fingers. He will have to undergo 10 operations to regain some mobility. Esteban, who was going to work on the day of the accident, is hospitalized in the Punta Pacifica hospital where he was taken by coworkers when they saw that the Social Security hospital was not providing the necessary care.
