Dozing driver ends up trapped in rolled trailer

Lázaro Cárdenas, Q.R. — A dozing driver ended up trapped inside his vehicle Tuesday after it overturned on a corner. The accident happened on the Ideal-Nuevo Xcan stretch of highway in the northern municipality of Lázaro Cárdenas.

Firemen from the town of Kantunilkin were needed to free the trapped driver after police found him stuck inside. Irving Nuñez, the Director of Lázaro Cárdenas Civil Protection, explained that the driver of the trailer was found trapped inside the cab of his vehicle.

Baltazar “S” was freed using the jaws of life and transferred to a Cancun hospital. According to Nuñez, the driver dozed off at the wheel which “caused him to leave the asphalt.”

There was no one else involved in the single vehicle crash.
