Overview
- In Iparia, Ucayali, a riverside landslide sank two passenger vessels (Rápido El Oriente and Deo Rigo), with COEN reporting 12 dead, about 30 missing and six injured as naval and police teams expand searches and evacuations.
- Informal boarding and the lack of passenger manifests in the Amazon river port are complicating the identification of victims and the accounting of those missing.
- In Mar del Plata, an autopsy found trauma from a fall and hypovolemic shock in the elevator-shaft death of worker Leandro Ezequiel Vega, as two architects (33 and 35) were notified for alleged homicide culposo.
- In Buenos Aires’ Villa Devoto, a 20-year-old pedestrian died when a viga from an andamio fell from a construction site; a court opened a homicide culposo case and imputed the 79-year-old architect in charge as peritajes proceed.
- Argentina’s Panamericana Ramal Campana remains heavily affected after an oil truck overturned at km 41.5, closing both directions for cleanup with the driver out of danger, while in Lima’s Panamericana Sur (km 28, Lurín) a detached container caused gridlock as the city assumed traffic control.
