Overview

• Armed civilians hijacked and burned buses and cargo trucks to block Federal Highways 45, 49 and 54 across Calera, Villanueva, Fresnillo, Río Grande, Cuauhtémoc and Sombrerete.
• Army, National Guard, state police and the state prosecutor’s office were deployed to clear routes, escort motorists and reestablish service on key corridors linking neighboring states.
• Officials reported no injuries or deaths and urged caution as traffic was gradually reopened through the day.
• Transport drivers said they were forced to position vehicles as barricades, surrender phones and wallets, and then abandon the units before they were set on fire.
• Responsibility has not been assigned; some reports cite up to 70 vehicles burned, a figure under verification, with investigators reviewing whether the action followed a prior confrontation in Tabasco, Zacatecas.
