Sources: 8. Developments: 2. The municipality of Tecámac and the adjacent México-Pachuca highway have faced ongoing safety challenges involving both violent crime and traffic incidents. In late July 2026, Tecámac reported a rise in homicides, including a victim found with multiple gunshot wounds, alongside frequent cargo-related accidents on the highway. Officials identified the Ojo de Agua stretch as particularly accident-prone due to speed and mechanical failures. On August 19, 2026, a major collision occurred on the highway near kilometer 32 when an Ómnibus de Tizayuca (ODT) bus, carrying approximately 60 passengers, collided with a black Audi in the high-speed lanes. The impact caused the driver to lose control, striking a retaining wall and overturning the bus on its right side. The accident resulted in the death of a man approximately 40 years old and left between 15 and 20 passengers injured. Emergency responders, including the National Guard, firefighters, Red Cross, and Civil Protection, assisted passengers trapped inside the vehicle. The injured were transported to facilities such as the IMSS Regional General Hospital 200 and a military hospital. The State of Mexico Attorney General's Office has launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the collision. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-19: Mexico-Pachuca highway bus accident leaves one dead and dozens injured A bus accident on the México-Pachuca highway in Tecámac has resulted in one death and up to 20 injuries after a passenger bus collided with a car and overturned. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bus-accident-on-mxico-pachuca-highway-leaves-one-dead-and-20-injured ### 2026-07-26: Tecámac sees surge in homicides and dangerous highway accidents Tecámac reported its 24th homicide of 2026 and faces frequent, dangerous accidents on the Mexico‑Pachuca highway, heightening local safety concerns. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tecmac-sees-surge-in-homicides-and-dangerous-highway-accidents --- Cite as: Safety concerns in Tecámac and México-Pachuca highway.
