ibarra Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Does anyone know why the libramiento is closed? I live in Brisas de Chapala, left home at 9AM to go to the vet, road closed and blocked by police trucks. Coming home, still closed. Went through Chapala, took 25 minutes to get from Ladron vet clinic to Soriana. The access road onto the libramiento from that direction has crime scene tape across it.

TelsZ4 Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 What a sad bunch of people some of you are on this board.. To say they had been drinking without knowing the facts, and you don’t know the facts... I didn’t see the accident but I was told from someone who did there were several motorcycle that appeared to be racing each other... How sad you have to post a photo of the body, Don’t you have any thought for the deceased's family... who just might be members of this board. 4 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no body shown there may be a corpse under the silvery blanket just a busted moto and highly likely that the poster meant driving not drinking. In Mexican media you will almost always see the gory, mangled and bloody body fotos of the deceased in accidents like this. You aren't used to that? I saw a deceased moto amigo on FB taken by the amigos that were riding with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I think they cover bodies with whatever someone has with them. When I came across a motorcycle crash scene on the liberamento the body of the rider was covered with blue plastic. The wadded up metal that had been his bike was laying in front of the jackknifed trailer truck that had obviously tried to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How sad one does not recognize a typo when one sees one. 🤪 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomL Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 this was posted on Facebook a few hours ago, so apparently the news article wasn't accurate and the truck driver didn't take off: Sadly 2 motorcycles hit a truck. 1 fatality. Prayers for the family and friends. *UPDATE* - driver of Truck in jail for 20 - 36 hours,. until the Ministerio Publico Investigation is over. It was not his fault, this was seen by many witnesses. But he still has to sit in jail. Think of his family as well in this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
