The incident took place on Thursday afternoon when the Chinese car ran a red light and struck the rear side of the Chevrolet, which ended up embedded in the wall of a house, according to witnesses in the Facebook group "ACCIDENTES BUSES & CAMIONES, por más experiencia y menos víctimas."
Witnesses also confirmed that there were no fatalities, only significant damage to both vehicles.
