Overview
- A sudden rise in the Los Molles stream followed intense rainfall in the high sierras near the Sierras de los Comechingones.
- Juan Álvarez Pinto, less than a month into the tourism portfolio and cycling nearby, entered the current to assist two older women.
- One woman's leg was pinned between rocks and she was in shock before being guided to shallower water.
- The two women exited the channel without injuries, and firefighters later rescued another person on the opposite bank.
- Volunteer brigades urged visitors to heed red flags and watch for warning signs such as murky water, debris, new cascades, and a deep, constant roar.
