Overview
- The motonave Andy struck drifting logs and capsized near the community of Puerto Sol, an accident that occurred early Wednesday and left passengers and cargo in the water.
- Rescuers recovered one man identified by relatives as Elías Inuma and continue search efforts for two crew members, Francisca Gárate Tananta and Cristian Murayari Taricuarima, who remain unaccounted for.
- Survivors were helped aboard a nearby vessel reported as VENNOR or Bennor in different accounts and were taken to Requena and Iquitos for medical care while the Andy was later towed to shore.
- Relatives traveled to the Don José port in Iquitos demanding more information and urging authorities to intensify search-and-rescue operations in the hard-to-access river areas where some passengers were stranded.
- River pilots and local outlets warn that the low-water season exposes submerged obstacles and floating logs that raise collision risk for passenger and cargo boats, and the crash is likely to prompt official probes of vessel safety and navigation oversight.
