Two years after the death of Fabiola Flores in recording in El Colorado: family of audiovisual director demands justice

On August 29, 2024, during the final day of filming for the movie 'Soltera, Casada, Viuda, Divorciada 2' in El Colorado, Fabiola Flores, a first assistant director, was transported inside a snowmobile machine along with three other crew members. The vehicle had been modified by Andacor, a rental company, to include a cage-like structure for transporting workers. During transit, Flores suffered a severe fall, leading to internal bleeding and two cardiac arrests before she was taken to the hospital. She passed away on September 3, 2024, at age 34. Her family has since demanded justice, highlighting that Flores was not adequately informed or trained about the risks involved in high-altitude work by her employer, Tiki Pictures, and Andacor. They also pointed out that the snowmobile used was not designed to carry people externally, contrary to the manufacturer’s specifications. Both companies were fined by authorities, and three legal proceedings are currently underway to determine liability. The family continues to seek accountability while coping with their loss.

Two years after the death of Fabiola Flores during filming in El Colorado, her family is demanding justice for the incident that led to her tragic passing. The incident occurred on August 29, 2024, during the final day of shooting for the movie Soltera, Casada, Viuda, Divorciada 2 in El Colorado. Flores, who worked as a first assistant director, was transported with three other crew members inside a cage attached to a snowmobile rented by Andacor. The vehicle was operated by an employee of the company. According to reports, around 6:00 PM on that day, witnesses were informed that Flores had suffered a severe fall and was being taken via ambulance to the San Carlos Clinic in Apoquindo. The fall caused serious internal bleeding, and she experienced two cardiac arrests before reaching the emergency room. She passed away five days later, on September 3, 2024, at the Catholic University Clinical Hospital after several days of suffering. She was 34 years old. The incident has highlighted the precarious conditions faced by technical workers in the audiovisual production and show sectors in Chile. Exactly two years after the tragedy, Flores' family and close associates have called for accountability. In a statement, they emphasized that Flores was neither adequately informed nor trained by her employer, Tiki Pictures, and Andacor regarding the risks associated with working in high-altitude environments. They added that her job responsibilities were not clearly outlined in her employment contract. Furthermore, the family pointed out that the snowmobile used by Andacor was not designed to carry passengers outside its structure, as stated in the vehicle’s manual. This modification was made specifically for the purpose of transporting personnel, according to the company itself. The family claims this lack of proper safety measures contributed directly to the accident. As a result of these findings, the Regional Health Secretariat of the Metropolitan Region imposed fines of 1,000 UTM on each of the companies involved. Additionally, Tiki Pictures received two penalties from the Labor Inspection Office. Currently, there are three ongoing legal processes aimed at determining liability for the incident. While these legal proceedings continue, Flores' loved ones have had to cope with her absence, unanswered questions, and the prolonged wait for justice. They remember her as someone whose smile never faded. Today, they urge those found responsible to face the consequences under the law and hope her story will prevent others from losing their lives while doing their jobs. For now, they continue waiting for the embrace they once knew. Time does not make an avoidable death acceptable, they say. The film Soltera, Casada, Viuda, Divorciada 2, which was released on Netflix on August 21, 2025, became the most-watched title on the platform in Peru. It was produced in Chile with support from the national production company Tiki Films, owned by Miguel Asensio, former partner of Spanish filmmaker Nicolás López in the company Sobras. The movie's credits include a brief tribute to Flores. Separately, a Chilean executive accused of racism has left prison in Brazil and will wear an ankle monitor while awaiting trial. The individual was charged following an alleged racist incident and is now under house arrest pending further judicial proceedings.

Chilean executive accused of racism leaves jail in Brazil: he will wear ankle brace and await trial

A Chilean executive accused of racism has been released from prison in Brazil and will wear a leg brace while awaiting trial. The individual was detained in Brazil on charges related to racial discrimination, but has now been granted release pending further legal proceedings.
