Tulum, Q.R. — Excessive speed to pass has been the said cause of a two car crash in the municipality of Tulum. On Wednesday morning, emergency personnel responded to several reports of the accident.
Firemen were part of the rescue team required to remove at least two trapped passengers from inside one of the crushed cars. Traffic along that section of the Tulum-Cobá highway came to a standstill as rescue teams worked to treat at least eight injured people.
