Multiple Vehicle Collision Closes Lanes on Mexico-Querétaro Highway

On Wednesday, November 20, a multi-vehicle crash occurred on the Mexico-Querétaro Highway at kilometer 59 in Huehuetoca, involving a trailer truck and several cars. The trailer, traveling toward Mexico City, failed to stop in time near the Jorobas intersection, colliding first with a bank and then hitting five cars and a pickup truck. The crash blocked all three north-south lanes, resulting in a partial highway closure and significant traffic delays.

Authorities believe wet road conditions from earlier rain may have contributed to the truck losing control, though investigations are ongoing. Paramedics promptly treated several individuals with minor injuries on-site, with some advised to seek hospital care as a precaution. No serious injuries were reported.

In a separate but related event on the same highway, a tanker trailer spilled fuel at kilometer 95.5 near Soyaniquilpan de Juárez, causing a full closure of all lanes in that area and compounding traffic disruptions.

Officials continue to investigate both incidents and urge drivers to exercise extra caution, especially when roads are wet. Motorists are reminded to maintain safe distances and reduce speed under adverse weather to prevent accidents.

Travelers on the Mexico-Querétaro Highway should anticipate delays and plan alternate routes where possible.
