Estructura se desprendió debido a la acumulación de agua y el peso del granizo que caía en ese momento. Afortunadamente, no se realizaba ningún tipo de actividad en el coso, lo que evitó que haya fallecidos o heridos. Escenario es administrado por el municipio local, por lo que se pide investigar los hechos.
