An LP gas pipe overturned and exploded on the Texcoco-Calpulalpan highway. The balance: two people dead and a woman with injuries.

The accident occurred at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday. The driver lost control near the community of Santa Inés. The unit, of the Freightliner brand with a capacity of 24 thousand liters, transported liquefied petroleum gas for the Global Gas company.

After the overturn, the pipe began to burn. The fire hit the driver and his passenger, who were burned to death at the scene.

A woman who was walking in the area was hit by a metal splinter. She suffered injuries to her pelvic limb and was taken to the Guadalupe Victoria Hospital in Texcoco.

The explosion generated a shock wave that damaged the facade of a taco restaurant, which also caught fire. Emergency services extinguished the fire.

Additionally, a Ford Edge pickup truck was damaged. Its driver, a 65-year-old man, was treated by paramedics for facial irritation.

The accident occurred on the borders of Tepetlaoxtoc and Texcoco. Emergency services from both municipalities and the General Coordination of Civil Protection and Comprehensive Risk Management of the State of Mexico attended.

The group Sabuesas Guerreras asked the authorities to accelerate forensic genetic analyzes to identify three bodies found floating in the sea, wrapped in blankets and tied with fishing nets, in the area of ​​El Castillo, Navolato.

Through a statement, the organization said that scientific identification will allow families to find peace. The bodies were in an advanced state of decomposition when they were located.

The searchers called on those who have missing relatives and suspect that they may be in that area, to approach the judicial authorities. They offered support to facilitate the recognition process.

The discovery occurred on Friday afternoon, when activists from the group observed strange objects floating in Altata Bay. Upon checking, they found the bodies. They immediately notified the State Attorney General’s Office, which secured the area and rescued the remains during the night.

The authorities sent the bodies to the Forensic Medical Service to begin forensic studies. The Warrior Hounds reiterated their commitment to continue searching for their loved ones and supporting other families experiencing this same situation.

“We hope that the Prosecutor’s Office will soon conclude the forensic genetic work to know the names of the deceased,” they noted in the text.
