An old tree in poor condition collapsed in the Carrasquilla area, bringing down power lines. The incident occurred between Calle 72 and Calle 66, affecting areas such as La Loma and San Francisco, where several residents were left without electricity. The trunk and branches blocked the road, forcing a reduction in vehicle traffic. Some cables were left dangling, causing concern among pedestrians and drivers in the busy area. Firefighters from Panama's Honorable Fire Corps arrived to begin cutting and removing the tree. Their priority was to clear the street and prevent accidents while assessing the risks from the fallen electrical wires. Meanwhile, Naturgy Panama sent technical crews to inspect the damage to the network and restore power in the affected sectors. The company stated that the work will continue until safe conditions are guaranteed.
