Late Evening Accident Stops Traffic At Border
posted (January 25, 2013)
There was a serious three-vehicle collision this evening on the Northern Highway near the Mexican Border. It started when a mini-van ran into the back of A BBOC bus. And then 20 minutes later, another car came behind and crashed into the van - while also running over two women who had come out of the bus. As we understand it, that second collision was caused by the fact that the minivan's lights were crushed in the collision - so the oncoming car could not see the accident in the road.

The full extent of the injuries are not known at this point, but traffic was blocked up for over an hour as rescue teams worked to clear the highway.

The road is very wet as it has been raining in the area.

Traffic was similarly backed up on the Northern highway at mile 6 this morning when there was a major collision. No one was killed when this car had a head on collision with another vehicle. We understand a police man was seriously injured. It happened near the rush hour and traffic was blocked up for miles.
