Overview
- Two men tried to drive from Palo Blanco toward Isla Paulino during low tide and became stuck in unstable mud as the water rose.
- Both abandoned the older pickup and swam to shore unharmed before rescuers arrived.
- Neighbors alerted Berisso’s Defensa Civil, which responded by boat and confirmed the vehicle was empty.
- The truck remains semi-submerged in the Río de la Plata, and officials say recovery is unlikely due to tide, mud and weight.
- Officials reiterated advice not to enter the river with vehicles and to access the water only where lifeguard services are present.
