A 70-year-old woman was saved from a manholein the city of Juína, in Mato Grosso, after having disappeared for hours, Tuesday 14th.

The lady’s disappearance was reported to the authorities in the morning. Throughout the day the firefighters searched a rural area of ​​the municipality.

The search, however, changed direction during the night, when a family member showed the authorities a video showing the silhouette of a person disappearing near the sewer system.

The firefighters intervened on site and, removing the manhole, found the old woman inside the pipe.

Due to the size of the space, the authorities were unable to directly access the sewer system to carry out rescue operations. It was therefore necessary to dig a hole about 100 meters from the culvert. Through the passage the firefighters entered the plant and removed the woman.

After the rescue, the lady was taken to a UPA (First Aid Unit) to receive the necessary medical treatment. The police still don’t know how she fell into the manhole. Investigations will be carried out to verify whether any crime has occurred.
