On the morning of Monday, June 15, 2026, two serious accidents disrupted traffic on the Mexico-Puebla highway, causing significant delays and long vehicle queues along this key route.

The first incident took place near kilometer 40, where a truck loaded with vegetables collided with a compact car. This crash forced authorities to close the lane heading toward Puebla temporarily. Emergency responders and road assistance teams quickly arrived to help those involved and manage the scene, while drivers were left stranded due to the halted traffic.

Shortly after, a second accident occurred just before the San Marcos toll booth on the same highway. In this case, a trailer overturned on the asphalt, further complicating mobility in the area. Efforts to remove the heavy vehicle continued for several hours, prompting officials to urge drivers to exercise caution, obey speed limits, and allow extra travel time.

Despite the severity of both accidents, no fatalities have been reported so far. Emergency services remain on site to address any arising issues and ensure the safety of travelers on this busy highway.

Authorities recommend motorists stay updated with traffic reports and consider alternative routes when possible, as vehicle removal and road cleanup operations may extend the disruptions for hours.

This situation highlights the ongoing challenges of road safety and infrastructure management in the region. As Puebla advances with projects like the cablebús system, which aims to offer safer and more efficient public transportation alternatives, reducing reliance on highways like Mexico-Puebla could help prevent similar incidents and improve daily commutes for many.
