Overview
- Heavy afternoon storms triggered a sudden surge in mountain-fed channels, carrying a woman from the Zanjón de Los Ciruelos toward the Canal Cacique Guaymallén.
- Witnesses last saw her near Guido Spano and Ballofet, and search teams pushed downstream to checkpoints including Camping El Pinar.
- Police from Comisaría 6°, the Central Fire Station, and Las Heras volunteer firefighters organized six search groups with support from Guaymallén swift‑water specialists.
- Fire chief Roberto Peña cautioned that new rises and very turbid water make operations high risk, advising crews to avoid entering the channel except for immediate recoveries.
- Assistant prosecutor Dr. Gorelic is overseeing judicial actions as responders investigate reports that a second person, a man, may also have been swept away.
