Overview
- Armed men intercepted the double-semitrailer at kilometer 20 near Naucalpan and opened fire through the windshield when the driver refused to stop.
- A co-driver took cover inside the cab and alerted nearby National Guard patrols after the assailants fled.
- Emergency crews, state police, the National Guard and Capufe secured the area, and the State of Mexico attorney general’s office transferred the body for forensic review, with no arrests reported.
- The shooting caused lengthy gridlock on the toll road, with delays reaching the Lago de Guadalupe toll in Cuautitlán Izcalli.
- Separately, transporters partially blocked lanes at the Tepotzotlán toll on the México–Querétaro highway to protest extortion and frequent armed robberies, which witnesses say involve signal jammers.
