Tragic Road Accident in Mexico Claims 21 Lives
A devastating three-vehicle crash in Puebla state, Mexico has resulted in at least 21 fatalities.
On Wednesday morning, a collision involving a tanker truck, a bus, and a van left 18 people dead at the scene, with three more succumbing to injuries later in the hospital. The incident occurred on the highway connecting Cuacnopalan and Oaxaca. Local official Samuel Aguilar Pala noted that multiple individuals are receiving medical treatment for their injuries. Reports indicate the crash happened when a cement truck attempted to overtake a van, leading to a collision with the bus and direct impact with the transport van. Eyewitness videos reveal thick smoke rising from the ravine where the vehicles ended up, highlighting the severity of the crash. Sadly, highway accidents are becoming increasingly common in Mexico, with a similar tragedy occurring earlier this year in Tabasco, where numerous lives were lost in a bus crash.
