The trailer was heading toward Mexico City and, before reaching the Jorobas intersection, crashed into a bank before colliding with five cars and a pickup truck. Rain earlier in the day left roads wet, which may have contributed to the driver’s inability to brake properly. Authorities are investigating the exact cause of the accident.
Emergency responders arrived quickly and treated multiple individuals for minor injuries. While no serious injuries were reported, paramedics recommended hospital evaluations as a precaution.
Fuel Spill in Separate Incident
On the same highway, at kilometer 95.5 near Soyaniquilpan de Juárez, a separate accident involving a tanker trailer led to a significant fuel spill. This incident prompted the full closure of all lanes in that area, causing further traffic delays.
Authorities urge drivers to exercise caution during wet weather and to remain aware of hazardous road conditions.
