Tarapoto: Mototaxi with passengers is dragged by ravine after trying to cross

A motorcycle taxi was carrying two passengers, this one was going from Bello Horizonte to the Chilcayo Band in the San Martín region, when it suddenly tries crossing a ravine and is washed away by the turbulent waters that were caused by the heavy rains in the area.

In the images you can see how the unit is completely turned over by the force of the water and after being displaced, it disappears downstream. Many were the spectators of the event, but they were able to do little or nothing to reverse this situation.

They called on the authorities to be able to rescue people who ride the motorcycle taxi and who were stranded on the island in an area where they were at a good resort.

Felipe Sánchez, municipal agent of Bello Horizonte, said that people often risk their lives crossing the river to access their work center even though conditions are not the most suitable or favorable.

“It's the recklessness of young people and the desperation to want to get the job done. People often risk their lives for business, work or studies, that is what is happening in Bello Horizonte,” he said.

CAR BURNS IN VILLA MARIA DEL TRIUNFO

A lady was left without work after her means of transporting fish was completely burned, this fire was caused by a gas balloon and alerted drivers who were driving along Pachacutec Avenue in the district of Villa Maria del Triunfo.

The serenes restricted traffic before the arrival of firefighters for several hours. The main one affected was Mrs. Julia, who watched helplessly as her work tool burned without anyone being able to do anything at that time.

“It started to explode when I was inside, I got off and everything started to catch fire. It is my work tool, it is the only way I have to support myself, I want someone to help me,” said the desperate victim.

The firefighters arrived when the car was completely burned and only the remains of the burned vehicle remained to be taken away. Mrs. Julia was a fish carrier at the fishing terminal of Villa María del Triunfo and at the same time is the mother of five children. It should be noted that she had not yet finished paying for the car, she was in debt.

“I have nothing to work with, I support my children with that, their studies and everything. Four days ago I started working, because I lowered my engine and I also went into debt with it to get my children to study. I had everything repaired”, he says sadly.

Witnesses do not believe that this accident was caused by a simple mechanical failure, since the taxi left the workshop due to a downturn in the engine just last week. Suspicions now lie with those in charge of informal transport.

According to witnesses, these people Doña Julia worked with maintained strong differences. “He has argued with the owner or niece of the fishing boat. Those are mafias, they charge and it seems that it has been an attack by fish”, commented a witness from the place.

The lady seeks financial support immediately so that she can bring sustenance to her home and be able to support her large family.
