Couple Die in Each Other's Arms After Becoming Trapped in Car During Storm

The couple’s white Nissan Versa was swept into an irrigation canal, and emergency workers later found them dead in each other’s arms, officials said.

  • On Sunday, April 5, Mariano Robles and Solana Albornoz died when a flash flood swept their white Nissan Versa into an irrigation canal in northern Argentina, trapping the couple inside the overturned vehicle.
  • The couple left the SMATA complex in Tafi Viejo early Sunday after attending a wedding; Mariano worked as a civil servant at the Tucum Government Palace while Solana worked for the state-run bank Caja Popular de Ahorros.
  • After the couple failed to return home, Robles' brother raised the alarm Sunday morning; emergency workers recovered the vehicle hours later and found them "locked in an embrace inside the wreckage," leaving behind two young children.
  • The severe storm claimed three lives in the region, including 12-year-old Lisandro, who died Saturday night in San Miguel de Tucum after being electrocuted by a utility pole while playing football with friends.
  • Relatives posted on Facebook asking, "If anyone knows anything about Mariano Robles or Solana Albornoz, please let us know as soon as possible," as authorities launched an investigation into the circumstances of their deaths.
