At the height of the municipality of Chalco, State of Mexico, the C5 of this entity registered an accident on the Mexico-Puebla highway, which has left 15 dead so far.
After the mishap at the San Marcos booth, which occurred around 1:00 p.m., the presence of a burning car was also reported.

Presumably a cargo truck that ran out of brakes hit several vehicles waiting to pay their toll.
For this reason, personnel from Caminos y Puentes Federales (Capufe) closed this road.
The event happened in the San Marcos collection plaza, so Capufe called people who want to circulate through the site to take precautions through social networks.
The road closure occurs on the side that goes to the east of Mexico City.
