In a devastating incident on Sunday, a van carrying 16 passengers fell nearly 400 feet into a ravine in the province of Nuevo León, Mexico. Upon impact, the vehicle caught fire, leading to the deaths of 12 individuals, while 4 others were injured. Authorities report that some of the victims died at the scene, while others succumbed to their injuries in the hospital. The fire also caused significant damage, burning about two hectares of land before it was brought under control.
Liberty News’ international correspondent states that the exact details about the passengers, including their origin and whether the driver was among them, have not yet been disclosed. This tragedy is part of a larger pattern of fatal road accidents in Mexico, with earlier incidents this month and last month resulting in significant casualties. The country has long struggled with high rates of road-related fatalities, often due to poor road conditions and speeding.
