Córdoba: shocking collapse of a wall crushed cars in General Paz

An impressive collapse of a dividing wall shook the General Paz neighborhood in Córdoba, causing damage to several parked vehicles. The incident occurred this Thursday on Jacinto Ríos Street in the 300 block when the structure suddenly gave way over a private garage. Fortunately, no personal injuries were reported despite the spectacular nature of the collapse, which was captured by security cameras.

The collapse was caused by a sinkhole caused at the Naranjos 8 building site being carried out by the firm Bugliotti Desarrollos Inmobiliarios. The construction company issued a statement assuring that it is cooperating with the authorities and will take responsibility for remediating the damage. The development firm indicated that the situation is under control and that it is maintaining direct contact with the neighbors affected by the incident.

The Municipality of Córdoba shut down the construction site to guarantee the physical safety of residents in the area. The authorities ordered the preventive evacuation of families living in adjacent homes until the perimeter is secured. The municipality demanded the urgent submission of a technical safety and remediation plan before allowing any further progress on the project.

Municipal shutdown and corporate response

The images of the collapse went viral quickly on social media, showing the exact moment when the wall crushes the cars.

Eduardo Oviedo from the Directorate of Private Works confirmed that the company will not be able to move forward with the construction until it solves the problem. The official explained that only specific technical work aimed at remedying the current risk situation will be authorized. The current regulations establish that the absolute priority is to guarantee the stability of the adjoining properties in order to protect property.

Experts will carry out a thorough assessment to determine the degree of impact on the adjoining homes that suffered cracks. A private company will be responsible for demolishing the masonry sections that were left hanging over the garage to prevent new accidents. The reactivation of construction work will depend exclusively on the official approval of the submitted safety measures.
