Around 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, the disappearance of a couple was reported in the Dos Bocas area, on the Vega Rivera – Atahualpa road, El Oro.

The first reports indicate that they would have been dragged by the current of the river in the Dos Bocas resort. The novelty was notified through a call to the ECU 911 system.

The residents reported that they tried to rescue them with a rope when they were being swept away by the water current. The flow increased suddenly as a result of heavy rains in the mountains.

In the parking area, a car-type vehicle was found, which would belong to the couple, who would have come to the sector to take a bath in the natural waters of this sector.

Starting this Sunday morning, search groups were organized, made up of firefighters from the Santa Rosa canton, relatives and community members. The people who were in the place fear that other bathers could have been swept away by the rising water. (I)
