Comandos de Salvamento has launched its emergency plan “#yorespondo 2018,” with several people injured in numerous traffic accidents occurring at different points throughout the country during the first days.

Among the most notable were those recorded in Morazán and San Vicente, which left more than twenty people injured. In our capital city, several collisions that left people injured were also reported.

Comandos de Salvamento section Quezaltepeque assisted an elderly patient who slipped and fell into an approximately 7-meter ravine in Colonia Lirios 3, near the bridge.

The victim was identified as Santiago Rivera, 70, who was transferred to the Quezaltepeque Family Health Community Health Unit. Fortunately, he did not have serious injuries.

Nearly 150 lifeguards are monitoring the country’s various beaches and tourist centers in order to safeguard the lives of vacationers enjoying the waters of the Pacific coast.

El Mahajual Beach is one of the most challenging beaches, where thousands of tourists are expected to arrive daily to enjoy themselves with their families.

Comandos de Salvamento asks the public to take the necessary precautions to prevent the number of victims from increasing during these holidays.
