The tragedy that shook the early morning in Juárez
The silence of early morning in Juárez, Nuevo León, was broken with a roar that marked the destiny of eight souls. A steel monster, a personnel transport truck from the Settepi company, became a death trap when it overturned dramatically on Teófilo Salinas Avenue, heading to Apodaca. The vehicle, which minutes before was advancing normally, was left lying on its side like a defeated giant, while dawn revealed the magnitude of the misfortune.
The rescue: a race against time
The heroes of Civil Protection, alerted before 5:00 a.m., arrived at the scene to face a Dantesque scene. The heavy unit had fallen into a treacherous ford, a product of the resurfacing work, with a fall of half a meter that sealed its fate. Amid the chaos, lifeguards made their way to help the driver and seven passengers, including a woman, whose bodies showed the traces of a brutal encounter with destiny.
Fortunately, the road did not collapse, but the physical and emotional wounds of those affected will remain as a reminder of how fragile life can be. They were all rushed to a nearby hospital, where they struggled to recover from the blows that chance inflicted on them.
