Rescue

Authorities rescued two children in Santa Rosa de Copán who had been sexually abused and neglected by their father.

A 22-year-old man in Yoro climbed onto a bridge over the Machigua River on Friday morning; firefighters talked him to safety and turned him over to his mother after psychological support.

Firefighters in Yoro used a wooden board to free a 7-year-old boy who became trapped between the cargo box and cab of a pickup truck in El Pantano neighborhood; the cause of the incident and any injuries remain unclear.
