This week, there was a traffic accident in Mexico, which was committed by 2-division world boxing champion Orlando Salito. At the time, 43-year-old Sallido was driving his Dodge Ram pickup truck on the road in a neighborhood in Kajam, Sonora, when the car suddenly lost control and veered off the road and crashed directly into a house on the side of the road, resulting in the death of 61-year-old José Luis and his wife was also injured in the accident and is still being treated.
According to the photos released, the Salido car is more like "flying into" a private house and inserted in the rubble, which shows how fast it is. According to media reports, Salido was speeding at the time, crashed into a wall of a house, crushed the victim underneath, and Salido himself was injured in the accident, and now he has been detained by the police, and will face prison time due to suspected speeding and fatigue driving.
The local police reported the details of the accident: at 2:36 a.m. local time, Sallido drove a silver Dodge Ram pickup truck with a license plate of Arizona, USA, and crashed into the back wall of a house and a room, resulting in the death of 61-year-old José Luis on the way to the hospital, and his wife Blanca Estella, 53, suffered multiple injuries in the accident and was out of danger after treatment.
Sallido is a well-known tough guy in boxing, who switched to the professional arena at the age of 15, but unfortunately due to his lack of experience, he only achieved an embarrassing record of 8 wins, 6 losses and 1 draw in the first 15 fights, and suffered knockouts in 5 of the 6 fights he lost, no one expected that he would make a breakthrough in the future.
Despite the bleak early part of his career, Salito's mental strength and ability to resist blows were two powerful weapons that helped him succeed. Salido has not been stopped since March 2000, when he challenged the famous Mexican sensation Manuel Marquez in 2004, but lost on points.
Salido is not a skilled and talented fighter, but he can be described as a repeatedly defeated fighter, so he is also a well-known "hob meat" in his field. In 2010, Salido finally got his wish and avenged his revenge in a rematch with Cristobal Cruz to claim the IBF featherweight title, before knocking out Puerto Rican sensation Juan Manuel Lopez to claim the WBO featherweight title.
In 2014, Salido became the first man to defeat Vasily Lomachenko, thus showing his strength, and subsequently transitioned from the WBO super featherweight champion to the official champion, thus claiming his second division world title. In addition, Salido's 2016 battle with Francisco Vargus was also voted the best confrontation of the year by the media. In 2017, Salido retired, with a career record of 44 wins, 14 losses, 4 draws, and 31 knockouts of opponents.
It should be noted that Sallido, who is outside the arena, has never been a peaceful person, and served 6 months in prison for stealing a car as early as 2004. In 2018, he was arrested on suspicion of stealing 16 cans of beer while he was entertaining in a bar, and this time he was killed by driving, which seems to be in constant trouble. Next, we can pay attention to the follow-up report to see how Sallido will be dealt with in the end.
