State of Mexico. – On Wednesday, November 20, a serious multi-vehicle accident occurred on the Mexico–Querétaro Highway, at kilometer 059+000 in Huehuetoca, State of Mexico. The crash involved a large trailer that failed to stop in time, slamming into several vehicles. The force left the trailer sprawled across the road, blocking all three north–south lanes and causing heavy congestion.
According to preliminary reports, the trailer was headed toward Mexico City when, near the Jorobas intersection, the driver lost control. The unit struck a roadside bank before colliding with five passenger cars and a pickup truck, triggering a chain-reaction crash. Authorities noted that rain throughout the day had left the pavement slick, likely contributing to the driver’s inability to brake in time.
Emergency crews and paramedics quickly arrived. Fortunately, most injuries were minor, consisting of bruises, cuts, and shock, though some victims were taken to hospitals as a precaution.
Authorities urged motorists to maintain safe speeds, allow greater braking distances in wet weather, and regularly check brakes. The incident served as a strong reminder of how rapidly road conditions can turn dangerous.
