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. Eighteen others were injured and received medical attention before being transported to hospitals in nearby towns. Authorities suspect the bus driver may have attempted an illegal overtaking on a solid line, leading to the collision. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
