Members of Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador, Sonsonate branch, Protección Civil, the Medical Emergency System, Policía Nacional Civil, the Red Cross and the army joined forces Wednesday night in the search for three tourists who became lost on the slopes of Izalco volcano.

The alert, issued at around 8 at night, indicated that three people had disappeared in Cantón Las Marías, on Izalco Volcano. The search began at that moment, with tracking groups being organized to locate them.

The rescuers spent 8 hours searching the areas where the people had become lost. They were located around 3 in the morning this Thursday in the area of Finca San Marcelino. One of them, who has diabetes, was suffering from decompensation and trauma to his clavicle; the other two had hypothermia, so it was necessary to take them to the Social Security hospital in Sonsonate.

The search and rescue effort was successful, and the relatives of Luis López, 34; Francisco Isidro, 30; and Cesar Cerón thanked the rescuers for their efforts to locate them and take them to receive medical assistance.
