POTD: Catalina Andrea Opazo Martinez

"In Santiago,
Catalina may be gone,
but her spirit lasts."

From 2024 03 08 Santiago

Today's photo-of-the-day is from central Santiago, Chile. It shows a shrine placed at the site where 17-year-old Catalina Opazo was killed when the car she was traveling in was crushed by two buses. The tragedy occurred on November 12, 2016. Seven years later, the family still maintains the shrine. Thousands of people walk past it every day. Hopefully, more than a few pay their silent respect to this stranger and pledge to drive more safely.
