When did Ramón Díaz arrive in Argentina and how did he learn of the tragedy of his youngest son?

Michael Diaz, the youngest son of Ramón Ángel Díaz, suffered a fatal traffic accident on National Route 5, at the height of the July 9 game: he was driving his Dodge RAM truck when he collided head-on with a white Kangoo. his wife, Barbara Oliverwas thrown from the vehicle and died instantly, the same as the driver of the small car, a beloved firefighter from the city of 25 de mayo named Aldo Flaqué (65 years old). Michael was transferred to Bragado hospital in the midst of a nervous breakdown with his eight-year-old son Milo. The paradoxical thing about the case was that, while the news was spreading, on the other side of the world, the former River technical director was officiating the Al Hilal match for the Saudi Arabian King’s Cup together with his other son and field assistant, Emiliano.

Ramón Díaz wore a somber expression at half-time in the match his side comfortably won 3-1 against Al-Fateh. Although the incident occurred at noon in Argentina, it was learned that the father and son were not yet aware of the accident that the youngest of the family had suffered and that they discovered the situation after the end of the match.

The question that arose then was whether he was a champion of Ramón’s proven professionalism or whether he took the field in the second half because he didn’t know what had happened in Argentina.

In the image from the telecast, Ramón Díaz can be seen walking calmly across the playing field to position himself on the substitutes’ bench. At his side, as always, his son Emiliano escorted him. A few minutes earlier the news had spread and shocked the national media.

The accident, according to the police report, occurred shortly after noon on State 5 when a flood was falling, which may have been one of the causes of the accident. Michael Díaz, 37, and his son Milo, 8, were in a hospital in Bragado, suffering a nervous breakdown following the death of the woman, who was thrown from the cab of the Dodge Ram truck in which they were travelling.

When the referee decreed the end, it was Emiliano himself who had the task of passing on the family tragedy to his father: his daughter-in-law Barbara had died in the accident and both Emiliano and Milo were hospitalized, although fortunately the child did not suffer serious injuries .

Ramón has decided to leave immediately for Argentina and will arrive in our country during the day to accompany his family in a difficult family moment.
