The victim was swept away by the water stream, being trapped inside the car.
The Municipal Public Security Directorate, the Fire Department and Civil Protection reported that this Thursday a total of 113 emergency calls were answered in the state capital due to the heavy rains.
The heavy rains also caused the Chuvíscar canal to overflow, which caused several vehicles to be stranded at the Teófilo Borunda and La Junta avenues.
According to the Central Board of Water and Sanitation of Chihuahua, an accumulation of 30 millimeters of precipitation was recorded in just 30 minutes.
These are the videos that circulate on social networks, where it can be seen that some streets became “rivers” which caused some cars to be swept away by water currents.
