“The report we currently have is of 34 people who died and 70 injured, of whom 48 were transferred to the Military Hospital of Bogot\u00e1,” said the governor of Putumayo, Jhon Gabriel Molina, to Noticias Caracol.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nOf the other 22 injured, twelve were transferred to the Maria Inmaculada Hospital, in Florencia, capital of the neighboring department of Caquet\u00e1, and ten remain in a dispensary of the Air Force in Puerto Legu\u00edzamo, where the accident occurred.\n\nIn the early afternoon, the governor had confirmed eight deaths and 83 injuries, which means that several of them died later.\n\n\n
