Two athletes participating in the Central American University Sports Games, JUDUCA, held at the facilities of the University of El Salvador, suffered trauma when a large tree fell onto the players of the Panama National 11-a-side Soccer Team.

Responders from Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador and other entities providing prehospital safety services to the JUDUCA competitors assisted the victims. One of them was transported due to trauma to one of his lower limbs, while the other had several injuries.

The players were resting after the soccer match when a gust of strong winds accompanying the storm knocked down the leafy tree, injuring two of them.

Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador has been covering the Central American University Sports Games, JUDUCA, at the University of El Salvador with its personnel qualified in health matters since last Tuesday, where they have assisted several players for trauma suffered during the competitions.

In the interior of the country, responders from Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador’s Sensuntepeque Section are working to remove a tree that fell onto the road leading to Cantón San Francisco El Dorado, in order to reopen vehicular traffic in the area.
