The driver of one of the vehicles lost control and began to spin, slamming into a passing vehicle. That vehicle then hit the concrete base of a city pole, knocking it completely free before overturning.

Two people from inside the overturned vehicle along with the driver of the second vehicle were transferred to Cancun hospital. Traffic was heavily congested in the area for nearly two hours due to the severity of the accident.
