A power outage has left two sectors of the Medellín-Bogotá highway in Guarne without streetlights for over a week, creating a high-risk environment for drivers and pedestrians. ^[1] Official records show 14 deaths from traffic accidents on this highway segment in the two weeks prior to the report, with a notable increase in incidents during the last two weeks of darkness. ^[2] The municipality of Guarne, Antioquia, reported that public street lighting has failed on two specific sections of the Medellín-Bogotá highway. ^[3] The first affected sector spans approximately one kilometer between kilometer 1 and Parque Empresarial Élite 1, identified by traffic authorities as the most critical risk zone due to a historical volume of incidents. ^[4] The second affected sector is located between El Crucero and vereda Chaparral, serving as a critical interchange for mass traffic connecting with San Vicente Ferrer, Concepción, and Alejandría. ^[5] José David Ochoa Ruiz, the Mobility Secretary of Guarne, stated that only a one-kilometer stretch between kilometer 1 and the Élite 1 Business Park remains illuminated on the Airport variant. ^[6] Local authorities warned that the lack of lighting on this high-traffic corridor increases risks for drivers, motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians. ^[7] The Mobility Secretary of Guarne identified a second affected section located between the Crucero del Amor and the entrance to the Chaparral neighborhood, where the lighting system is out of service. ^[8]
