Multiple Deadly Traffic Accidents Across North America

A deadly multi-vehicle crash in Puebla, Mexico killed at least 21 people and injured up to 20 more when a tanker truck crossed into oncoming traffic, sideswiped a bus, and collided head-on with a van before exploding; both involved transportation companies are covering victims' expenses as authorities investigate. In Oklahoma, a UPS semi-truck crashed into a pay gantry on I-44, leading to road closures and the driver being cited for inattentive driving. New Jersey saw six non-life-threatening injuries in a crash on I-80 involving two vans and two tractor-trailers. In California, a pedestrian was struck and killed on I-5 near Anaheim, and minor-injury multi-vehicle crashes occurred in Elk Grove and Sacramento. A fatal two-vehicle crash also took place near Pahiatua, New Zealand. Investigations are ongoing in all incidents as affected communities respond to the tragedies.
