Costa Rica Zapote Rotunda Car Crash - May 2009
A May, 2009 car crash in the Costa Rica town of Zapote, a suburb of the San Jose capital. The footage was captured by a traffic-cam at the Zapote rotunda.
What you see in this video is classic Costa Rica driving with a really bad ending. Cars are lined up in a left-turn lane when a car driving in the outside lane attempts to beat another car while crossing two-lanes of traffic to make a left turn in-front of the waiting cars. As detailed in the video, the resulting crash was horrific. The car that was hit head-on was driven by a man and his new wife, both were killed instantly leaving one young child without a mother.
New Costa Rica traffic laws have been written, passed through legislation and will soon take effect in efforts to curtail this crazyness ... but without real enforcement, the desired reforms will more than likely have little effect on the culture of chaos that is currently Costa Rica's roadways.
