EL SAL JULY/AUG 2001
COMANDOS DE SALVAMENTO
http://www.salvamento.org
A bus ran off the road, hit a tree, and dropped 100 meters into a
river below at 11pm.
WE were called.
I and three other comandos had to climb down and wade up through the river almost 150
yards. It was raining hard.
We arrived at the scene and I found the driver still in his seat outside the bus, fallecido. A small child was at his side barely conscious. We stabilized the child with what we had, no backboards, so we used a bus seat! and hiked the child up the mountain.
There were two other [fallecidos[ besides the driver.
We took the driver up in a litter, and waited or other grupos to rescue the others.
The next day I found out that the driver was the father of the kid.
His mother is in stable condition, she is one of the señoras below.
