Overview
- On Avenida Morelos Norte in Morelia, 18-year-old Ángel B. died after striking the central median and falling into the opposite lane, where CRUM paramedics confirmed his death.
- A second crash minutes later on the same corridor left 20-year-old Héctor Andrés J. dead after he fell from a motorcycle and was run over, with the motorist at the scene detained by authorities.
- The Fiscalía General del Estado opened investigations in both Morelia cases, and forensic teams transferred the bodies to the medical examiner’s office.
- In a separate incident on the Zamora–Morelia highway, 31-year-old José de Jesús T. died at a hospital after his Renault Kwid collided with the second box of a double-trailer from the soft-drinks company Aga, with both vehicles secured by traffic agents.
- Officials reported traffic disruptions around the crash sites and noted that about 30% of this year’s traffic fatalities in Morelia involve motorcyclists, frequently linked to speed, inexperience, alcohol, and not wearing helmets.
