Heavy rain with hail occurred on Tuesday afternoon on the Mexico-Puebla highway, which caused road accidents.

According to the first reports, around 18:00 hours, at least three vehicles collided by range due to the presence of ice on the highway, between kilometers 56 and 63, at the height of the San Marcos booth and the town of Rio Frio, in the territory of Ixtapaluca.

However, Federal Roads and Bridges (Capufe) reported through its Twitter account that people were seriously injured, so they called on motorists to take precautions in the face of crystallized asphalt.
