Liga de Quito player, Marco Angulo, has once again been involved in a tragic road accident. In the early hours of Monday, October 7th, the footballer was part of a traffic incident in Quito that claimed the lives of two individuals.

This marks another devastating event for Angulo, who had already been involved in a similar situation in November 2022. At that time, while he was in Guayaquil as a player for Independiente del Valle, Angulo was involved in a car accident that also resulted in a fatality. Although he was initially linked to the incident, it was later determined that he was not the driver of the vehicle.

Angulo in Intensive Care

According to initial reports, Angulo is currently in intensive care. Early speculation suggested that he was traveling with other players, including Luis Estupiñán, but this information has since been denied by the footballer himself.

Authorities are investigating the causes of the accident to determine the relevant responsibilities.

A Shocking Incident for Ecuadorian Football

This new tragedy has sent shockwaves through the Ecuadorian football community, which is now rallying in support of Marco Angulo and his family during these trying times. The loss of human life in these incidents is deeply saddening and has left the community in mourning.
