Overview
- Mexico City’s Health Secretariat confirmed the death of Tiffany Odette Cano González, bringing the official toll to 32, with five people still hospitalized and 47 discharged.
- Tiffany, 16, died at the National Institute of Rehabilitation; her father, Misael Cano Rodríguez, also died from injuries, and her two-year-old son remains under care at a hospital in Tacubaya.
- The disaster began on September 10 when an LPG tanker carrying about 49,500 liters overturned at the La Concordia interchange, unleashing a fire that damaged homes, vehicles and injured bystanders.
- Prosecutors said GPS and video show the driver had been on the road 16 hours 20 minutes and entered a curve around 44 km/h, exceeding the 40 km/h limit, leading to a tank breach and ignition of a gas cloud.
- Forensic findings reported no mechanical failures or roadway defects, and investigators are pursuing potential safety omissions by operator Transportadora Silza alongside victim compensation and regulatory follow-ups.
