The dramatic event occurred in the small town of Rincón, belonging to the Saujil district in the Pomán department. It was isolated, and both security forces and Civil Defense were working in the affected area.

The heavy storm produced a landslide that affected the La Banda neighborhood, swept away a pedestrian bridge, and carried away a pickup truck. In addition, houses were affected. As of Monday noon, no casualties had been reported.

In the recording, screams can be heard, and how three men flee the site as the landslide advances, after having hit the bridge and the bumps that access the population.
