Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche — A man operating an ATV near swimmers at Playa Norte was detained and fined by local authorities this weekend after beachgoers reported the reckless driving. The incident prompted a swift response from the Municipal Public Security Directorate and the Directorate of Environment.
Reckless Driving Near Recreational Zone
Witnesses alerted authorities after observing the driver navigating a yellow Can-Am ATV dangerously close to the shoreline, where families were swimming and relaxing. Officers intercepted the vehicle and informed the driver that he had violated administrative regulations by operating the ATV in a pedestrian-only recreational area.
Following an explanation of the infractions, authorities issued a fine and temporarily impounded the ATV to prevent further violations. In a gesture of leniency, officials allowed the driver to pay the fine on-site, avoiding additional costs associated with towing the vehicle to an impound lot.
No injuries or further incidents were reported due to the prompt intervention of security personnel.
