Overview
- Authorities expanded the operation after initial reports of one missing woman were followed by a second possible victim, with both described as living rough near the waterway.
- Witnesses placed the last sighting at Guido Spano and Ballofet, and teams are sweeping downstream through the Cacique Guaymallén canal toward the Camping El Pinar area.
- Police from Comisaría 6°, the Cuartel Central and Las Heras volunteer firefighters are deployed, with judicial proceedings overseen by Assistant Prosecutor Dr. Gorelic.
- Swift‑water specialists from Guaymallén are on standby as commanders warn that fast, turbid flow makes entry into the channel exceptionally dangerous.
- Sudden runoff from intense high‑mountain storms swelled urban channels across the region, prompting a full closure of Provincial Route 89 in Potrerillos where fords were overtopped.
