Alberto Heller and his co-driver Matías Ramos were competing in the 2017 Rally de Vichuquén, held in the Vichuquén area in the Curicó Province of the Maule Region, Chile. They collided head-on with a truck driven by Guillermo Parra, a resident who lived in the area the rally was held in. Parra apparently was unaware of the ongoing event.

Parra initially survived the impact but passed away at the scene a few minutes after the incident due to massive internal injuries. Parra, a former teacher in Rarin, lived in the town of Curicó. He was reported to be either 64 or 66 years old. Heller suffered a broken collarbone and was transported to a hospital in Santiago

Notes:
On May 22, 2016, the Campeonato Nacional de Motocross de Honduras visited the “La Lomita” track, Tegucigalpa, for the fourth round of the season. For unknown reasons, Moncada tried to run across the track in the middle of the race. He was waiting for an opportunity to cross the track but, probably blinded by dust, did not see oncoming riders. He ran straight into the path of Guatemalan rider Vicko Castillo. Castillo who was still in mid-air after taking a jump had absolutely no chance of avoiding the spectator and hit him at full speed before he was thrown from his bike. Moncada’s body came down lying in the middle of the track. The following riders were unaware of what happened in front of them just a few seconds before. José Mario Reyes, Rodrigo Santamaria, Erick Trejo and Diego Castro ran over Moncada’s body. Moncada died on the spot.
