A multi-vehicle accident in Mexico caused by a tractor-trailer has left nine people dead and around 10 injured on a highway in the state of Jalisco, Civil Protection reported on Sunday.
Among the dead are two minors, while the injured include two members of the National Guard who are in serious condition and were transferred to the Magdalena Hospital in Guadalajara, the agency report indicated.
Videos on social media from local media showed several vehicles burned on a highway connecting the cities of Guadalajara and Tepic.
"Four patients in minor condition, all US citizens, were transferred to the Arboledas Hospital in Guadalajara by a private ambulance from the highway," Jalisco Civil Protection stated.
