A 14-year-old boy was reported missing after being swept away by the strong currents of the Sucio River in Muisne, Ecuador. The incident occurred as he was visiting relatives in a community called Las Delicias, after completing his school year and enjoying his vacation. Reports indicate that the teenager went to the river in the afternoon to bathe with a family member.

According to local residents, while trying to reach a raft, the teenager attempted to grab onto a cane for support, but it broke, resulting in him being swept away.

The unfortunate accident prompted his family to alert the local authorities for assistance.

Rescue efforts are now underway, with firefighters and local authorities searching for the missing teenager. The case has raised concerns among the community regarding safety near the river, especially for children and unaccompanied individuals.
