Bogotá — Colombian prosecutors will investigate the official response to a partial collapse of seats at the Enciero event on Sunday, killing at least four people and injuring hundreds.
Video shows that part of a three-story wooden stand collapsed into the ring and locals were attending a bull running event linked to the holidays of St. Peter and St. Paul. it was done.
"I jumped off the second floor, where I broke my leg and my right wrist," said Ulices Castro. "I was very nervous because, like in a domino game, all the boxes were thawed until they hit the ground."
Who was the injured in the wooden structure? I am wondering if it was designed and approved, and if the wooden boards could support the weight of the audience.
The public prosecutor's office, which is tasked with investigating illegal activities by civil servants, announced on Twitter late Sunday that it would investigate Juan Carlos Ita Mayor, Mayor of El Espinal.
"The mayor did not respond to requests for action plans being implemented to respond to the disaster," the office said without providing details.
The mayor's office did not immediately respond to the request for comment.
The collapse killed four people, and civil defense official Luis Fernando Beres told local Blu Radio on Monday that about 280 were treated for injuries.
