State of Mexico.- This Wednesday, November 20, a  multiple collision  occurred on the  Mexico-Querétaro Highway , at kilometer  059+000  in  Huehuetoca, State of Mexico . The accident involved a  trailer  that, after being unable to stop in time, collided with several vehicles. As a result, the vehicle ended up across the road, occupying all three north-south lanes of traffic, causing a  partial closure  of the highway.
Causes of the accident and traffic conditions
The incident occurred as the trailer was traveling toward  Mexico City . Failing to brake in time before the  Jorobas intersection , the driver crashed into a bank and then struck  five cars and a pickup truck . Due to the  wet  road conditions caused by the day’s rain  , it is suspected that road conditions may have played a role in the accident, although authorities will investigate the cause.
Injuries and safety recommendations
Paramedics arrived at the scene to treat the  injured , who had minor injuries. Although no serious injuries were reported  , the paramedics recommended that some be checked out at the hospital to avoid possible complications.
Trailer spills fuel in another accident
In a similar incident on the same highway, a  tanker trailer  spilled fuel at kilometer  95.5 , near  Soyaniquilpan de Juárez . This accident caused a  complete closure  of all lanes in that area, which also caused significant traffic delays.
