Playa del Carmen, Q.R. — A sudden loss of brakes is the said cause of a three-vehicle highway crash north of Playa del Carmen. Three trucks were involved in the crash Wednesday afternoon.
One of the involved trucks is alleged to have lost his brakes, causing the driver to hit a second vehicle. That second vehicle then hit a third.
The accident happened near the border with Puerto Morelos Wednesday afternoon in the south bound lane. Traffic was heavily backed up due to the three vehicle collision and ongoing highway construction.
National Guard Highways responded to the scene of the accident and requested tow trucks to clear the highway.
An official cause for the crash is being investigated. There were no injuries reported between the three vehicles.
