Landslide Leaves LP-Gas Tanker Hanging on Baja Highway in Mulegé

Crews are working to secure the site with more rain in the forecast.

Overview

  • The roadway failure occurred at kilometer 78 of the Transpeninsular Highway after heavy rains linked to Tropical Storm Mario.
  • An LP-gas tanker was left suspended between the collapsed edges of the highway, creating a significant safety risk.
  • Army, Navy, and state and municipal Civil Protection teams were deployed to stabilize the area and plan a safe extraction.
  • Officials reported no injuries and urged people to avoid the area as San Ignacio remains cut off after both access routes failed.
  • The national weather service said Mario is tracking parallel to the peninsula, bringing additional rain that could trigger more slides or flooding.
