Cancun, Q.R. — A woman was killed Sunday night from crashing her car head on into a concrete pillar. Cancun firemen were brought in to remove the woman who was left trapped behind the wheel.
The woman was driving her Nissan Tiida when she lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the concrete structure. The structure she hit was a concrete pillar belonging to the Maya Train bridge near the intersection of Luis Donaldo Colosio Avenue and Chit Avenue.
According to first reports issued by the security and traffic authorities who attended the scene, the car was heading east with a destination for Riviera Maya at the time of the accident.
The female driver is reported to have driven from Merida, Yucatan, heading to Riviera Maya when she hit the pillar.
Initial investigations and preliminary expert reports suggest that the combination of excessive speed and a possible loss of control of the steering wheel were causes of the crash.
Witnesses who watched as the car slammed into the pillar called emergency services.
There were no other vehicles involved in the Sunday night accident. The deceased driver has not been named.
