Pemex tankers pile up at bypass intersection

Three Pemex tankers and a pickup truck piled up in a freak accident on the Chapala-Jocotepec highway on Monday.

Three tankers and a pickup truck belonging to Pemex, the government-operated oil company, piled up in a two-part freak accident that occurred Monday, July 9 at the intersection of the Chapala-Jocotepec highway and the Libramiento bypass.

The initial crash involved a tanker filled with Magna gasoline that rolled over after the driver skidded out of control on approaching the traffic light from the bypass around 4 p.m.

An empty tanker and a pickup truck carrying Pemex personnel arrived in the aftermath to carry out the transfer of fuel from the overturned truck. Just as technicians were about to start the decanting maneuver, a third tanker loaded with water to be used in case of a fire outbreak came barreling down the bypass, flew through the intersection and smashed straight into the pickup and backup tanker.
