Cancun, Q.R. — A woman traveling with her son on a highway outside Cancun was found crushed to death by responding paramedics. The woman and her son were located trapped inside their car by other motorists after a large tree fell on their car.
According to reports, 56 year old Lisi N was killed when the tree suddenly toppled and landed across the car. The tree uprooted and fell first on the passengers side, killing her and injuring her 26-year-old son Raid N, who was driving.
