19 killed as truck smashes into cars at toll booth in Mexico
A transport truck has smashed into a toll booth and six other vehicles on a highway in central Mexico, leaving at least 19 people dead and three injured, authorities said.
The brakes on the truck apparently failed before it crashed into the toll booth and then the vehicles on Saturday, igniting a large fire on the highway connecting Mexico City with Puebla state.
A statement from Mexico’s federal roads and bridges agency said the truck was transporting shampoo base at the time. The accident occurred in Mexico state.
Vehicles involved in the accident were engulfed in flames, with some near the toll booth completely destroyed.
