Reverend Jorge Raschke is in stable condition after his vehicle fell from the third level of the multi-story parking garage at the Altamira II condominium in Guaynabo, the Guaynabo Municipal Police confirmed. In remarks to NotiCentro (WAPA-TV), Guaynabo Municipal Police commissioner Jorge Hernández Peña said authorities responded to the complaint filed at 5:27 PM on Tuesday, November 10.
"Papi is already an elderly person and it is my prayer that the people around him have the prudence never to let him drive a car again, being all alone; because they are putting him in danger,"
According to preliminary information, the religious leader turned on his vehicle when the machine apparently accelerated suddenly, causing it to break through the parking structure and fall. Images broadcast by the television station showed the white van overturned on a metal fence and several garbage containers on the grounds of the housing complex. After the incident, his daughter, Kathy Raschke, used her social media accounts to ask her followers to join in prayer "as a matter of urgency" for her father and voiced concern about his safety behind the wheel.
"Papi is already an elderly person and it is my prayer that the people around him have the prudence never to let him drive a car again, being all alone; because they are putting him in danger," she said in a Facebook post, clarifying that she had no prior knowledge of what happened. "My heart is with my Father from a distance... I love my father with all my heart and I thank you for your prayers in advance... I ask you to pray for Papi’s wife, Belén Álvarez, and for my little brother, Jorge Isaac, too, please...," she concluded.
