Puerto Aventuras, Quintana Roo — In the early hours of Tuesday, September 16, a serious rollover accident occurred on Federal Highway 307 near the Hard Rock Hotel, leaving one man hospitalized with severe injuries.
The crash took place around 6:20 a.m., when the driver of a gray Hyundai Tucson (license plate UUJ-280-M) lost control while heading southbound on the stretch between Playa del Carmen and Puerto Aventuras. According to reports, the driver appeared to be intoxicated and was not wearing a seatbelt.
After veering off a curve just before the hotel, the SUV struck a tree in the center median and flipped over. The driver was thrown around inside the vehicle, sustaining serious injuries.
National Guard highway officers quickly arrived to secure the scene and prevent further accidents. Civil Protection paramedics assessed the driver and, due to the severity of his condition, transported him urgently to the IMSS-Bienestar General Hospital in Playa del Carmen.
The damaged vehicle was later removed by tow truck and taken to an impound lot for safekeeping.
