The accident has shocked the Oaxacan community and the nation, as the passengers were returning from a political rally in Mexico City led by presidential candidate Claudia Sheinbaum, where thousands had gathered in the Zócalo.

The governor of Oaxaca, Salomón Jara Cruz, expressed his deep sorrow through social media, offering condolences to the families of the victims and assuring them that they would receive the necessary support to cope with this difficult situation. “With deep sorrow, I report that the accident on the Mitla-Tehuantepec highway has resulted in fatalities,” the governor wrote.

According to official reports, two people were transported in critical condition to hospitals in Juchitán de Zaragoza, while ten others are in stable condition. The Oaxaca State System for Integral Family Development (DIF) has deployed personnel to assist the victims’ families and provide them with the necessary support.

Authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the accident and have urged the public to exercise caution when traveling on the highway. This tragedy underscores the importance of passenger transport safety, especially during political events where mass mobilization is involved.
