Woman killed in motorcycle collision with dump truck in Matina, Costa Rica.
NEWS:
A woman approximately 33 years old was killed in a collision involving a motorcycle and a dump truck in Matina, in Costa Rica’s Limón province, on the morning of April 25, 2026.
The crash was reported at approximately 8 a.m.
Video footage records the collision between the motorcycle and the dump truck. The images confirm the impact but do not establish what caused it, which vehicle had the right of way or whether either driver made an unsafe maneuver before entering the recorded area.
Emergency personnel found the woman with multiple traumatic injuries. She was assessed at the scene and declared dead after responders determined that she had no vital signs.
Her identity had not been released when the first information about the crash was published. A later broadcast confirmed that the victim was a woman approximately 33 years old but did not provide her name.
No verified information established whether the woman was operating the motorcycle or traveling as a passenger. Public reports also did not identify the dump truck driver or disclose whether anyone else was injured.
The footage confirms the collision itself but does not provide enough information to determine speed, braking distance, visibility or the actions of either road user before the moments shown.
No public report located through June 9, 2026, stated whether the dump truck driver remained at the scene, underwent alcohol testing or provided a formal statement to investigators.
Authorities assumed control of the case after emergency crews confirmed the death. No publicly accessible traffic report, forensic reconstruction or judicial filing was found explaining the cause of the crash.
A separate fatal motorcycle accident was reported later that morning in Carrandi, within the same canton. That case involved a 27-year-old man who reportedly fell from his motorcycle before being run over by a truck. The difference in victim, time and reported sequence indicates that it was not the same collision that killed the woman.
The available information about the woman’s death remains limited to the recorded collision, the emergency response, her approximate age and the confirmation that she died at the scene.
