Identify victims of the fatal accident between a bus and a truck on the road from Medellín to Manizales: a couple was going to visit the Miracle of Buga

On August 29, 2026, a serious traffic accident occurred on the road between Manizales and Medellín, near the Supía toll plaza in Caldas, Colombia. The collision involved a public intermunicipal bus operated by Bolivariano, traveling from Medellín to Ipiales, and a truck moving in the opposite direction from Manizales to Medellín. Three people died in the crash: the bus driver, Cristian Camilo Palacios, and a married couple, Jorge Eliécer Soto and Nubia Alba Deavila, who were traveling to Buga to visit the Basilica of the Lord of Miracles.
