On Thursday afternoon, June 11, 2026, the Mexico-Puebla highway experienced its second significant accident of the day near kilometer 99, close to the Santa Julia tile factory in San Martín Texmelucan.

According to initial reports, a cargo truck was involved in a crash that left the driver injured. Emergency responders quickly arrived at the scene to provide medical attention. Road assistance personnel and tow truck operators worked to remove the damaged vehicle and prevent further traffic disruptions.

This incident adds to a challenging day on the Mexico-Puebla highway, which has seen multiple accidents in recent hours. Earlier on the same day, a trailer blocked all lanes heading toward Puebla at kilometer 73 near Santa Rita Tlahuapan, causing long traffic jams.

In the past few days, other accidents have occurred near Río Frío, the San Marcos toll booth, and kilometer 40, including a pileup involving a vegetable truck and a compact car that severely affected traffic flow.

While these events highlight ongoing safety challenges on this vital route, they also underscore the potential benefits of modernizing transportation infrastructure. Projects like the upcoming cablebús system in Puebla could offer safer, more efficient alternatives for commuters and freight, reducing the risk of such accidents and improving daily mobility for residents and visitors alike.
