On Wednesday, November 20, a multi‑vehicle collision occurred on the Mexico–Querétaro Highway at kilometer 59 (059+000) near Huehuetoca in the State of Mexico. A trailer truck, traveling toward Mexico City, failed to stop in time approaching the Jorobas intersection. It first struck a roadside embankment (or bank) before colliding with five cars and a pickup truck. The force of the impact left the trailer blocking all three north–south lanes, prompting a partial closure of the highway.

Authorities believe wet road conditions from earlier rainfall may have contributed to the truck’s loss of control, though a formal investigation is ongoing to determine whether mechanical failure, driver error, or other factors played a role.

Paramedics arrived at the scene and treated multiple individuals for minor injuries. Although no serious injuries were reported, some victims were advised to undergo hospital evaluation as a precaution against latent complications.

In a separate incident on the same highway, a tanker trailer spilled fuel near kilometer 95.5, close to Soyaniquilpan de Juárez. That spill forced a full closure of all lanes in that section, further exacerbating traffic disruptions along the highway.

These two incidents together caused significant delays and congestion as authorities worked to clear wreckage and restore traffic flow. Drivers have been urged to use caution in adverse weather, especially on wet roads, and to maintain safe stopping distances to help prevent similar accidents in the future.
