58 directing the traffic at that place denies that there was a collision with the motorcycle and, therefore, that Salgado Castilla had fallen off and hit the pavement, a fact that was asserted by the members of the DIVISE as the cause of the detainee’s injuries.” 250 On this point, the Report of the CVR determined that “[t]he supposed collision between the vehicle driven by [a police agent] and the motorcycle on which Rafael Salgado was riding, is unconvincing, not only owing to the version of the witnesses that deny it, but because, in itself, it is unsustainable. A violent collision and a catastrophic fall such as the one described […] would necessarily have resulted in serious bodily injuries to Rafael Salgado and probably loss of consciousness, considering that he was not wearing a protective helmet. In these conditions, Rafael Salgado could not have recovered from the fall immediately, stood up and fought with one of the police agents to try and wrest his weapon from him.” 251 156. In this regard, the Court notes that the version of the CVR differs from the State’s version that there was a collision between the motorcycle on which Ms. Espinoza was riding and a police vehicle.
