One of them was found dead, while the second, 9 years old, is still wanted in the area by fire rescue teams.
Family members indicated that the boys at the time of the event were crossing a bridge and were swept away by the rising water level of the La Compañía stream. They assured that they were in the middle of the pipeline when the waters overflowed due to the heavy downpour.
It is still unknown what the minors did in that place and where they were going.
Chorlavicito residents reported at 9:13 p.m. on Wednesday the presence of a small body. Paramedics from the Ibarra Fire Department who arrived at the site verified that the infant had no vital signs.
Fausto Vaca, spokesman for the firefighters, reported that at 05:00 elements specialists in this type of rescue resumed their search for the missing child who was pushed by the tributary.
The uniformed men with special equipment go through the area and enter the water to see the missing person.
Neighbors of La Floresta commented that the force of the rain also flooded land and houses.
In Caranqui, on the other hand, as a result of the downpours, a ditch overflowed that flooded the roads and flooded several homes, where furniture and appliances were affected. Relief personnel carried out the venting and evacuation of the water with suction pumps. (I)
