UMÁN, YUCATAN – An argument between drivers early Saturday, April 25th, ended in tragedy.
One of them, after getting out of his vehicle to confront the other driver with a baseball bat, was run over by the other motorist, resulting in his death in front of his family on the Mérida-Campeche federal highway.
The incident occurred at approximately 12:11 a.m. Saturday on the federal highway, near kilometer 154 close to the Tebec bridge, where emergency services received a report of a fatality.
Officers from the Umán Municipal Police and the State Public Security Secretariat (SSP) arrived at the scene and found a white pickup truck with Campeche license plates parked on the side of the road.
Several people were found near the vehicle, one lying on the ground. Upon examination, they found he no longer had vital signs, so they requested assistance from ambulance Y-70 of the SSP (Secretariat of Public Security), whose paramedics confirmed the man’s death.
When speaking with A.C.B.H., 34 years old and wife of E.X.L., 33 years old, she stated that they were returning from shopping in Mérida when an argument began with the driver of a red Aveo.
Her husband got out of the SUV with a baseball bat to continue the fight, and the Aveo driver ran him over and then fled toward the Campeche highway, killing the other man at the scene.
Personnel from the Prosecutor’s Office and the Forensic Medical Service (Semefo) arrived at the scene to remove the body and conduct the corresponding investigations; National Guard unit 730308 also joined the proceedings.
