The relatives of the young man, in the midst of his pain, received information that he had an accident through a hole.

Jorge Mario Tobón, Julián’s father, said “I invite the two Secretaries of Mobility and Infrastructure so that we can go to the site and show them the loopholes that are on that road, if they have not already covered them. They are washing their hands and deny the ineptitude and inefficiency of that mayor’s office”.

This pronouncement is due to the fact that the Cali District administration reported that the accident was not due to road damage.

The Secretary of Infrastructure, Néstor Martínez, expressed condolences for the pain suffered by the Tobón family.

He assured that experts from the Ministry of Mobility detailed that in the section there is no road failure associated with the fall and death of the young man.

He said that the technicians reported that about a hundred meters around race 127, where Julián Tobón fell, there is no road damage.

According to that report, the motorcycle would have gone up to the berm and soft area. The rims have no signs of damage or bursting.

In a statement, the Tobón Sánchez say that on behalf of the family “a tour of the sector was carried out and, specifically, of the scene of the events, in which it can be evidenced, to verify the real state of the asphalt folder in a radius of 50 meters around, being fully evidenced in a video its real state”.

On April 18, 2021, Jorge Felipe Tobón, who was a player for the Colombia and Valle hockey team, died in a robbery on the hill. Four arrests have been reported for this crime.
