Cancun, Q.R. — Two people were killed Sunday when the young male driver of a car slammed into a metal safety bollard. The single vehicle crash happened on Colosio Boulevard early Sunday morning.
Emergency services were sent to the site on Luis Donaldo Colosio Boulevard around 3:00 a.m. where a black BMW was found embedded in a piece of city infrastructure. The male driver of the car hit a concrete-filled safety bollard at a high rate of speed.
The infrastructure belonged to the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) which was in place to protect a concrete utility pole. During the crash, two youths in the front seat, both males, were killed. Two more people from the back seats were seriously injured.
Cancun Transit were at the scene of the accident near region 311 where firemen were brought in to free both bodies from the front of the car. The impact was severe enough to have pushed the engine into the car, leaving both men trapped and the car a wreck.
Both deceased males were locals residing in region 308, only a few blocks from where the accident happened.
Witnesses who saw the crash and called 9-1-1, telling police afterward that the driver was seen speeding along the boulevard in the heavy rain when he lost control and hit the metal structure.
