The influencer also commented that he remained at the scene of the accident until medical attention arrived. “I can say that, from the moment of the accident, I stayed at the scene, waited for the victim to receive medical attention, and made myself available to the authorities so that they could be tested for alcohol and toxic substances.”

Toguro also claims that he is already in contact with the victim’s family and that he had not commented so far because he was not feeling well and wanted to respect the motorcyclist’s family members: “It was only yesterday at the end of the night that I received contact from the family members and my spokesperson with the victim’s sister. (…) From the moment of the accident until now, I have not been well, that is why the silence and for this reason I preferred not to speak and respect the mourning of family and friends.”
