A drunk Honduran man was caught braving the strong currents of water caused by the recent rains, which ended up dragging him away, in the community of San José de Soroguara, north of the capital of Honduras.
During the incident, one person was heard shouting that “his life is in the way” as the man struggled against the force of the water.
