The LDU Quito midfielder from Ecuador was involved in a tragic car accident that also involved many others. Sadly, three people lost their lives, including the two-time representative of the Ecuadorian national team. The accident occurred on October 7, after which the young player battled for his life in the hospital until November 11.

The 22-year-old's football talent raised great hopes in Ecuador.
