Incident details
According to the General Directorate of Public Security and Municipal Traffic of Los Cabos, the incident occurred around 9:05 p.m. on Lázaro Cárdenas Boulevard, the main tourist corridor. Hundreds of people celebrated Mexico’s victory against the Czech Republic.
The report indicates that the vehicle was surrounded by a massive concentration that obstructed the passage. “Subsequently, an acceleration maneuver occurred that resulted in several pedestrians being run over,” the corporation stated. This version is part of the ministerial investigations.
Witnesses and videos on networks show that fans approached the vehicles, rocked them and threw liquids at them. At one point, a black car, surrounded by people, accelerated and hit several attendees. After crashing into a sign, the driver was pulled down and beaten by the crowd. A woman and a minor also got out of the vehicle.
Authorities confirmed that 17 people were taken to receive medical attention, including the driver, who suffered injuries. The PGJE asked citizens to provide photographs, videos or other information through official reporting channels.
The incident has generated reactions on social networks and in business organizations, which call for maintaining civility during the World Cup days. They affirm that such an event had not been recorded before in that tourist destination.
