The wave of serious road and transport incidents that began in early August 2026 continues across Latin America and Europe. In Mexico, fatalities and injuries have been reported across numerous regions, including a fatal motorcycle accident in Veracruz, a train collision in Pénjamo, and a rollover in Yucatán. Other Mexican incidents include a vehicle striking a restaurant in Zapopan, a truck hitting a toll booth on the Autopista del Sol, and a cargo truck collision on the Mexico-Querétaro highway that killed two people. Recent reports also note a collision on the Barranca Larga–Ventanilla highway in Oaxaca between a Nissan Tsuru and an ADO passenger bus, which killed the driver and injured two passengers. By late August and early September, the scope of fatalities expanded. In Michoacán, a 28-year-old driver died following a collision between a Seat Ibiza and a Freightliner truck on the Zitácuaro-Morelia highway. In Celestún, two teenagers were killed when their motorcycle struck a coconut tree, and in Ypané, Paraguay, two 19-year-old men died when their motorcycle fell into a watercourse during heavy fog. In Argentina, a fatal head-on collision occurred on Route 5 near Anguil, while a triple collision in Tucumán resulted in one death. In Uruguay, a 25-year-old driver died on Route 3. In early September, new incidents emerged in Venezuela, where a 19-year-old died in a Maracaibo motorcycle accident. In Argentina, a motorcycle crash in Villa María left a 4-year-old hospitalized, and icy conditions caused a rollover on the Ruta de los 7 Lagos. In the Dominican Republic, a mechanic died after a collision in Nagua. Guatemala also reported multiple incidents, including a fatal truck overturn in the Quiché department. ~~On September 6, a significant collision occurred in Rosamorada, Nayarit, on Federal Highway 15 involving a passenger bus and a trailer.~~
