A mud and water avalanche flooded the thermal resort located in Jardin de Reyes, a few meters from the Hotel by the same name. It covered several cars and there are over 50 people injured.
The phenomenon occurred at around 14 hs, 35 kilometers north of the capital. Experts say it was caused by the rising of river Reyes.
Although no casualties were reported, there are 25 older adults with fractures, bruises and cuts in Hospital Pablo Soria from San Salvador in Jujuy, while 30 minors in similar conditions were taken to Children’s Hospital Hector Quintana.
SAME staff, gendarmerie and police in the province, are working on site with the help of backhoe machines in search of more people trapped in the mud and stones.
