Every Monday, Manuel Ollancaya Hancco (87) went to the "Los Incas" fair in Cercado to buy supplies for his home; this Monday was no exception, but when he was trying to return home, he tripped and fell onto the road where he was eventually run over by a unit of the Integrated Transportation System (SIT).

At 11:45 a.m., after doing his shopping, accompanied by some relatives, Manuel Ollancaya left the fair and while crossing Los Incas Avenue, he raised his hand to signal to Octavio Quispe Tipula, driver of the V1Z-706 minibus from the Unión Grau company that was heading towards the land terminal.

The fare collector, Antony Bellido, stated that despite holding out his hand, Manuel Ollancaya did not board the minibus he works on. “He tried to get onto the sidewalk and tripped. He fell onto the road, and as we moved forward, the driver ran him over with the back tire ,” he said.

The octogenarian's death was instantaneous. The oil and bleach containers that Manuel Ollancaya had purchased were used to weigh down the bags covering his body until his remains were removed and taken to the central morgue in Arequipa.
