Trees block road in Colon province

Heavy rain in Colon province caused trees to fall on a road, disrupting traffic and power supply. Drivers are urging authorities to inspect tree conditions.


Several trees fell on the road leading to the Costa Abajo and Gatun Lake area in the province of Colon, affecting normal traffic flow. In recent days, heavy rain has also been reported in several communities in the Chagres and Donoso districts in Costa Abajo, Colon, limiting transportation for residents. This incident affected several communities due to a lack of electricity until the service provider arrived to restore power. Drivers in the area have requested officials from the Ministry of Public Works (MOP) and the Ministry of Environment (Mi Ambiente) to analyze which trees are already diseased so they can be cut down and not become a threat to drivers. One of the trees fell on a sedan car and onto the power lines.
