Presidenta
Comes
To
Aid
Of
Three
Injured
In
Hit
and
Run
Three
people
this
morning
have
presidenta
Laura
Chinchilla
on
their
top
list
despite
the
presidenta's
low
popularity
these
days,
for
it
was
doņa
Laura
herself
and
with
the
help
of
security
detail,
to
come
to
the
rescue
following
a
hit
and
run
accident
last
night.
The
presidenta's
security
team
took
chase
of
the
driver
and
detained
him.
The
accident
that
occurred
around
9pm
Sunday
night
was
witnessed
by
doņa
Laura
when
a
driver
hit
a
guard
rail
in
the
area
of
the
Gimnasio
Nacional
on
the
southwest
corner
of
the
Sabana
park.
The
driver
of
the
dark
coloured
Hyundai,
identified
later
by
his
last
name
Ordonez,
left
the
three
laying
injured
on
the
road
and
took
off.
The
presidenta
came
immediately
to
the
aid
of
the
injured,
ordering
her
security
detail
to
block
traffic
so
as
not
to
run
over
the
persons
lying
in
the
middle
of
the
road
and
to
give
chase
to
the
fleeing
driver.
The
driver
was
arrested
and
is
alleged
to
be
driving
under
the
influence
of
alcohol
at
the
time
of
the
accident.
Doņa
Laura
did
not
waste
the
camera
opportunity
to
express
her
displeasure
at
the
current
Constitutional
Court
rulings
watering
down
the
Ley
de
Tránsito
and
legislators
who
have
been
slow
to
approve
the
new
law
that
has
been
in
discussion
and
in
the
committee
stage
for
the
last
two
years.
The
injured
were
taken
to
hospital
where,
thanks
to
the
quick
action
by
the
Presidenta
and
her
security
team,
will
recover
to
tell
the
tale.
