Two Vehicles Overturn on Highway 307 Near Playa del Carmen; Drivers Escape Serious Injury

Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — Two drivers walked away with minor injuries after their vehicles overturned in separate accidents on Federal Highway 307 in the stretch between Puerto Aventuras and Akumal, authorities reported.

According to preliminary information, both rollovers happened at roughly the same time and were blamed on excessive speed combined with wet pavement.

First Rollover Near Cenote Azul

The first crash occurred near Cenote Azul, close to the Barceló hotel, when the driver of a red Dodge Journey hit a stretch of road covered in puddles, lost control of the steering and flipped the vehicle, which came to rest on its roof.

Despite the violent nature of the crash, no one was seriously hurt. Paramedics who responded to the scene treated the occupants of the SUV and assessed their condition.
