What happened

Around midnight on Sunday 11 October 2026, a car crashed at the crossing of Emiliano Zapata and Río Pánuco streets in Colonia San Miguel, León. The car first hit a parked box truck used for parcel transport and then slammed into the facade of a house, knocking down part of the wall, according to Noticias Vespertinas citing the municipal security secretariat.

Emergency crews found three people dead at the scene — preliminarily identified as two women and one man, though authorities reported them as unidentified. Two other women, Karen, 23, and María, 63, were injured and taken to hospital; the severity of their injuries had not been publicly reported at the time of writing.

Witness accounts suggested the car may have rear-ended the parked truck at speed; possible excess speed is among the factors being examined, though the official cause had not been established. The state prosecutor's office took charge of the investigation, the identification of the dead and the determination of responsibility.
