Building collapse in La Romana: Fifth rescued is in critical condition

La Romana. Rafael Vicioso, the provincial director of Civil Defense in La Romana, reported that they managed to rescue the last trapped person of the five affected by the collapse that occurred this Friday in La Romana.

Vicioso explained to the newspaper Hoy that the fifth person was taken to a health center and is in critical condition.

“It was difficult to get to him because he had all the weight of the structure on him. We used voice location techniques and removed debris in a controlled manner with buckets and rescue shovels,” he explained.

The work lasted for several hours, during which time the specialized technicians remained in contact with the victim while the area’s stability was ensured. “All the necessary protocols were applied to guarantee his survival,” Vicioso added.

Earlier, two bodies were recovered, and two other people were taken to hospitals.
