In early August 2026, Mexican authorities issued broad traffic‑safety warnings as the school vacation period ended. In Torreón, officials urged drivers to obey speed limits and avoid reckless behavior, while in Tamaulipas the return‑home rush on the Victoria‑Monterrey highway caused long queues and prompted advice on safe following distances.

Later the same day, safety alerts became more incident‑specific. On the Siglo XXI highway between Metepec and Leonali, drivers reported stones being thrown from the roadside, damaging vehicles, and were told to keep moving and report any attacks. On Avenida Las Torres near Zinacantepec, crushed mangoes littered the road, making it slippery and leading to a skid; officials advised reduced speed, cautious maneuvering and alternate routes while the debris is cleared.
