- Two Ferromex freight locomotives collided around 8 p.m. on Feb. 20 at kilometer 21 near the former customs facilities in Nogales, Sonora.
- Local firefighters, Red Cross paramedics and police from municipal, state and federal levels responded and provided on-site aid.
- Four crew members sustained severe injuries and were transferred to IMSS General Hospital Zone No. 5, while a fifth person received treatment at the scene.
- Early accounts indicate one locomotive was performing low-speed maneuvers when it was struck by a freight train using the same track.
