Tragic Incident on Riviera Maya Highway

A devastating accident occurred on the Riviera Maya Highway, where six people lost their lives in a two-vehicle crash. The incident has shocked the local community and raised questions about road safety in the area.

Review of New Accident Video

Authorities are currently reviewing new accident footage that emerged on Monday, shedding light on the moments leading up to the tragic collision. The video captured by a security camera shows the driver of a company transport van parked and eating before being hit.

This new evidence contradicts the initial statement released by the FGE, which attributed the accident to weather conditions. The footage has raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding the crash and the safety protocols in place.

Victims identified

The passengers involved in the accident were a group of Argentinians who had hired a private vehicle to explore the region. Tragically, five of them lost their lives in the collision, along with the Mexican driver of the van.

The group of tourists, who did not know each other, were staying in various accommodations in Tulum and had hired a local driver to transport them. The survivors, a 30-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman, remain in hospital care with serious injuries.

State Investigation

State Secretary Cristina Torres Gómez announced during a press conference that the State Attorney General’s Office is conducting a thorough investigation into the accident. The authorities are working to determine the exact cause of the crash and ensure accountability for the lives lost.

The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety measures and the need for vigilance while driving on the Riviera Maya Highway. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims during this difficult time.
