Motorcyclist killed in head-on tractor-trailer crash near Cisneros, Colombia.

NEWS:

A motorcyclist was killed and his passenger was critically injured after their motorcycle crossed into the path of an oncoming tractor-trailer on a highway in northeastern Antioquia, Colombia. The collision occurred at about 00:1:40 p.m. on Sunday, May 10, 2026, on the road connecting Cisneros and Puerto Berrío.

The crash was recorded by a camera mounted on the tractor-trailer. The footage shows the truck moving through a curved section of the two-lane road as a motorcycle appears in its lane from the opposite direction. The motorcycle is already across the center of the roadway when it enters the camera’s view. It continues toward the truck and strikes the front of the heavy vehicle head-on. Both people on the motorcycle are thrown from the bike by the force of the impact.

Road Police placed the collision at kilometer marker 9+600 on the segment between San José del Nus and Cisneros. Authorities identified the motorcycle’s driver as Juan Esteban Ríos and the passenger as Eiden David Perea.

Ríos died at the scene from the injuries sustained in the collision. Perea survived the initial impact but was seriously injured. Emergency personnel first transported him to a nearby medical facility before he was transferred to Medellín for higher-level treatment.

Preliminary medical information released after the crash said Perea had suffered a traumatic brain injury. His prognosis was listed as reserved, indicating that doctors could not provide a reliable expectation for his recovery because of the severity and uncertainty of his condition.

Traffic authorities said their initial working hypothesis was that the motorcycle entered the opposing lane while its driver was attempting to pass another vehicle. The recording confirms that the motorcycle was traveling in the tractor-trailer’s lane immediately before the collision. The footage does not establish why the motorcycle moved across the roadway, how fast either vehicle was traveling, or what happened before the motorcycle entered the camera’s field of view.

The truck driver was not identified in the available public information. No confirmed injuries to the truck driver were reported. Investigators were examining the video and the physical evidence from the crash to determine the complete sequence of events and whether any factor beyond the motorcycle’s presence in the opposing lane contributed to the collision.

A public account dated May 14, four days after the crash, continued to describe Perea as seriously injured with a reserved prognosis. Some later social media posts claimed that both motorcycle occupants died, but those statements conflicted with the police-based account listing one death and one critically injured survivor.

No directly published police statement, hospital release or other verifiable primary record confirming a second death was located. Perea’s last reliably supported status therefore remained critically injured with a traumatic brain injury and a reserved prognosis.

The available video provides direct visual evidence that the motorcycle was in the truck’s lane and that the vehicles collided head-on. The claim that the lane crossing occurred during an attempted passing maneuver remained an investigative hypothesis attributed to traffic authorities, rather than a fact established by the recording alone.
