Infrastructure failures and road hazards have been reported across several Mexican municipalities. In Veracruz, a pickup truck fell into a two-meter-deep construction trench after the driver allegedly ignored road closure signs. In Boca del Río, a vehicle fell into a sinkhole, while paving works on Vía Muerta continue despite recent damage to fresh concrete.

In Escobedo, authorities closed a section of Avenida Manuel L. Barragán due to pavement damage caused by rain and a sanitary drainage collapse that has reportedly remained unrepaired since November 2025.
