Multiple traffic collisions in Nuevo Laredo involve a drunk driver, hit‑and‑run and a stop‑sign violation
A fatal crash on a bridge in Nuevo Laredo claimed the life of 45‑year‑old Federico after the vehicle he was riding in was struck by a truck driven by 63‑year‑old Juan, who was found to be heavily intoxicated. Juan failed a breath‑alcohol test, was arrested at the scene, and the victim died instantly from severe injuries.
In a separate incident in the Mezquital del Valle area, a white Dodge RAM was hit after its driver ignored a stop sign, causing a collision with a motorcycle. The motorcyclist fled the scene; no injuries were reported.
A third collision occurred at the intersection of Leandro Valle and 5 de Febrero in the Guerrero colonia. Mayra Mayte, 33, driving a black Chevrolet Cruze, failed to stop at a stop sign and struck a Jeep Patriot driven by 38‑year‑old Beatriz Elena. Both women were unharmed, and Beatriz Elena removed Mayra Mayte’s keys to keep her from leaving the site. Authorities assigned preliminary responsibility to the Chevrolet driver.
