Logroño (EFE).- One of the three injured people who caused the collapse of one of the interior facades of the courtyard of the central Adoratrices school in Logroño on Tuesday is under the rubble and is being sought by dogs from the canine patrol of the National Police of La Rioja.
The three injured, two of whom have been evacuated alive to the San Pedro de Logroño Hospital, without the extent of their injuries being yet known, are workers on the construction site being carried out at this school, and the causes of the collapse are still unknown.
The Councilor for the Interior of Logroño, Francisco Iglesias, explained to journalists that the person who is trapped is in an area that is difficult to access and all efforts are being made to rescue him, “hopefully alive”, for which work is being done to clear the rubble and dogs that are experts in locating people are used.
This event, which has also caused a gas leak, which has already been resolved, occurred around 9:45 a.m., when a collapse occurred inside the building that was under construction, in a lower three-story side wing.
