Two Children Among 10 Dead in Jalisco Multi-Vehicle Collision
13 Jul
Summary
- Ten people died, including two children, in a Jalisco truck crash.
- A cargo truck collided with vehicles responding to an earlier accident.
- Four U.S. citizens sustained minor injuries in the collision.
A catastrophic road accident in the Mexican state of Jalisco claimed the lives of ten individuals, including two young children, on Sunday. The incident unfolded near Hostotipaquillo, a town situated on the border of Jalisco and Nayarit.
Authorities reported that a cargo truck plowed into a scene where road crews were already managing an initial two-truck collision. This secondary impact escalated the situation into a far more severe event, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries.
The severe collision led to fires in two cargo trucks and three other vehicles, severely damaging a Mexican National Guard patrol truck. In addition to the ten deceased, ten others were injured, two of whom were National Guard officers in serious condition, alongside four U.S. citizens who suffered minor injuries.
