State of Mexico, November 20 — Multi-Vehicle Collision Shuts Down Key Highway Near Huehuetoca
A serious traffic accident unfolded this Wednesday on the Mexico-Querétaro Highway, near kilometer 059+000 in Huehuetoca, State of Mexico. A trailer truck, unable to stop in time, collided with several vehicles, ultimately coming to rest across all three north-south lanes, forcing a partial closure of the busy highway.
How It Happened
Traveling toward Mexico City, the trailer failed to brake before reaching the Jorobas intersection. It first crashed into a roadside barrier before striking five cars and a pickup truck, triggering a chain reaction of collisions.
Possible Causes
Authorities suspect that slippery roads—made hazardous by earlier rainfall—may have contributed to the driver’s inability to stop. An official investigation is underway to determine the exact cause.
Injuries and Safety Advice
Emergency responders quickly arrived on scene, attending to those involved. Fortunately, injuries were mostly minor. Paramedics recommended some individuals visit the hospital for further evaluation as a precaution.
Motorists are urged to drive cautiously in wet conditions and remain alert for ongoing cleanup and traffic control in the area.
