Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador responded to at least several calls from people affected when trees fell onto their vehicles at different locations across the country.

One of the incidents occurred Monday afternoon when the strong winds accompanying the storm brought down a tree that fell onto a vehicle parked on Calle Mediterráneo and Bulevar La Sultana.

Volunteers from Comandos de Salvamento, from the Antiguo Cuscatlán branch, arrived at the scene, where no one suffered injuries, only property damage.

Minutes later, another tree fell onto a sedan parked on Calle Mediterráneo and Avenida Antiguo Cuscatlán, where there was also only damage to the vehicle.

The wind gusts accompanying the severe storm also brought down advertising billboards near Redondel d´Aubuisson, where electrical cables were affected, in the direction leading to Redondel Naciones Unidas, in Antiguo Cuscatlán.

Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador, Zacatecoluca branch, was alerted to the fall of a huge tree onto a vehicle parked on Calle Principal in Cantón El Espino Arriba, where only property damage was reported.

The vehicle’s owner, identified as Luis Salvador, said that he only heard the crash, and when he went outside, the tree had destroyed the cabin of his vehicle.

Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador will remain on alert due to the rains accompanied by strong winds, asking the public to stay away from dangerous areas to prevent tragedies.
