Prefectura Continues Search for Missing 39-Year-Old After Nighttime Collision on the Paraná

The effort is hampered by the survivor's inability to identify what was struck or pinpoint the crash site.

Overview

  • The missing man was identified by local outlets as Gustavo Fabián Ibarra, 39, a Santa Fe police officer reported as on administrative leave.
  • The small boat collided and sank Sunday night between roughly 8:00 and 8:30 p.m. in the Paraná River’s main channel near San Lorenzo, according to reports.
  • The woman onboard, named as María Soledad M., said she escaped through a hatch, swam to shore, and was rescued by local fishermen about two hours later.
  • Prefectura Naval de San Lorenzo has deployed vessels with searchlights and aerial sweeps, suspending efforts after dark and resuming the following morning, with no recovery reported as of Nov. 25.
  • Local media noted Ibarra’s 2024 suspended sentence and a prior detention in a separate case, details not tied by authorities to the collision.
