Beer-Laden Double Trailer Overturns on México–Pirámides Highway, Looting Reported

Authorities kept lanes partially closed during clearing operations.

Overview

  • Emergency crews responded to a rollover at Km 2+600 near Ecatepec that scattered beer cans and disrupted traffic in both directions.
  • Initial police reports and the driver’s account indicated a loss of control on a curve under the weight of roughly 60 tonnes, leaving the double trailer in the median.
  • The driver was not seriously injured and remained at the scene as responders secured the area and began removal work.
  • By early afternoon only one lane toward Hidalgo was open, and officials advised using the México–Texcoco route to rejoin near Tepexpan.
  • Dozens removed intact cans with bags and carts despite security presence, with widely shared videos prompting divergent reactions online.
