A rock slide in the province of Hualgayoc, in Cajamarca, covered a car carrying four occupants. Only three passengers managed to quickly get out of the unit, however, the driver remained locked up for several hours before being rescued.

According to Canal N, the accident occurred a few minutes after entering Bambamarca. “I was fighting inside the car, I was fighting to live, I didn’t want to die. I felt desperate because the rocks crushed me more and more and I said: ‘this far. God, I am in your hands, I entrust my children to you.’ Come what may, because I felt that I was leaving. It seemed the end. It was very hard for me.” told Ulises Días Ruiz, driver of the unit.
