A man and a woman died following a collision between a motorcycle and a pickup truck on a rural highway in Pénjamo, Guanajuato. The accident occurred around 11:30 p.m. on a road connecting the communities of Hornitos and Cerritos Blancos, near the border with Michoacán.

The victims, identified as Sergio, 45, and Gloria, 44, were reportedly residents of Jaripitiro, Michoacán. Following the impact, the couple was thrown from the motorcycle into nearby farmland. A white Ford F-150 with Michoacán license plates was found abandoned in the fields near the victims.
