Two OAP sisters died in a car crash just minutes after sharing a selfie from their vehicle at the start of the month.
Miriam and Gladys De la Torre were travelling on Route 88 in Argentina when their Renault Clio collided head-on with a Citroen Basalt driven by Laura Evangelina Gomez, a 45-year-old woman from Necochea, who also died at the scene on 1st May.
The sisters, aged 62 and 67 respectively, had reportedly sent a selfie to relatives shortly before the crash, showing them smiling inside the car as they departed Mar del Plata.

However, despite concerns about using mobile phones while driving, police are looking into suspicions that another vehicle was involved after reports that a dark-coloured pickup truck may have caused the accident.
Police believe this other vehicle made a dangerous manoeuvre that forced Gomez’s car into the path of the De la Torre sisters' vehicle.

Patricio De la Torre, son of Gladys, told local media that the truck fled the scene and has not yet been identified.
Police are appealing for witnesses who may have seen the truck or the events leading up to the crash.
