Overview
- Persistent light rains caused water to pool on the Pachacútec bypass at avenida 26 de Noviembre, forcing authorities to close the road while crews removed water and mud.
- A driver in a black car became trapped when attempting to cross the flooded roadway and was helped by bystanders before a motor pump arrived to drain the area.
- Serenazgo officers and municipal teams blocked both ends of the bypass and carried out cleanup to restore safe passage, producing long vehicle queues and redirected traffic toward San Juan de Miraflores and Villa El Salvador.
- Images and on-scene reports showed water depths near 15 centimeters, which made vehicle passage unsafe and underlined that the bypass lacks effective drainage.
- Neighbors demanded a formal response from local authorities, and officials warned that similar disruptions could recur if drainage upgrades are not implemented.
