An accident on Friday night tragically claimed the lives of two young men when the motorcycle they were riding hit a post.

The victims were identified as Humberto Traña Medrano and Guillermo Quesada. They were apparently best friends who worked together at a local restaurant and played on a soccer team together.

They were leaving work to return home and change clothes when they came around a corner and encountered a slow moving vehicle. In trying to avoid hitting the vehicle they hit the post instead. According to the Red Cross, they were both instantly killed.

The accident happened 200 meters south of the entrance of town, in front of Abastecedor El Cruce.
