The Mexico-Puebla highway was closed by federal authorities after the collision between a bus and a trailer caused a strong fire, which consumed both heavy vehicles.
The accident occurred at kilometer 42 of the highway in the direction of Mexico City, before reaching the San Marcos booth located between the Mexican municipalities of Ixtapaluca and Chalco.
Personnel from the National Guard highway division came to the scene to secure the site and stop traffic in both directions in order to avoid further risks.
