Police Rope Team Rescues Motorcyclist From Swollen Córdoba River After Entering Closed Crossing

Rescuers pulled the 27-year-old to shore during severe rains that swelled Río Los Chorrillos.

Overview

  • Authorities closed the vado at Estancia Vieja around midday after a rapid rise in the river’s flow.
  • The rider ignored warnings, entered the crossing, was destabilized by the current, and his motorcycle was swept downstream.
  • DUAR officers and local brigadists carried out a high-risk rope operation recorded on video.
  • The man managed to hold onto a structure until teams reached him and brought him to safety.
  • Medical personnel evaluated him at the scene with no serious injuries reported as storms caused wider disruptions in Córdoba.
