Adriana Campos and husband Carlos Rincón were killed in a car accident on Tuesday, Nov. 3 in Colombia, according to Variety Latino. The telenovela actress was 36 years old.
Campos and Rincón were traveling southwest on La Mansa-Primavera Avenue in Department of Antioquia of Colombia, according to El Colombiana, the leading newspaper in the department. Rincón was driving and suffered a moment of microsleep, which caused him to lose control of the vehicle.
The car rolled off the road into the Cauca River. The couple was unable to escape from the vehicle and drowned. They leave behind a one-year-old son, who was in the care of his grandmother at the time of the accident.
"Immediately following the accident, traffic units were sent to the crash site in coordination with the city's firefighters," said Juan Gómez, a Highway Patrol Commander for the City of Antioquia, during a press conference (via Variety Latino). "We proceeded to remove the bodies and transport them to Salgar Hospital's morgue to perform all formalities."
