Bad U-turn leaves Cancun car wedged under semi

Cancun, Q.R. — A Cancun driver was able to walk away from an accident Monday after becoming partially wedged under a semi. City Transit were requested at the intersection of Nichupté and Tecnológico Avenues to deal with the situation when the driver of the car attempted a U- turn.

It was around 7:00 a.m. when, in the midst of the U-turn, a semi happened along the city’s busy intersection, colliding with the car. Police were on scene in SM 507 since the intersection was left blocked due to the accident.

Preliminary information reports say the driver wanted to change direction using a retorno but failed to see the oncoming semi. In the midst of the change, the driver’s side of his car ended up wedged under the heavy unit.

The car was heavily damaged from the collision. Paramedics arrived and treated the lucky driver of the car for only minor abrasions.
