17 Injured as Car Plows into World Cup Crowd in Mexico

Celebrations following Mexico’s 3-0 World Cup victory over the Czech Republic took a dark turn when a driver accelerated into a crowd in Cabo San Lucas, leaving 17 people injured. Bystander footage showed fans surrounding and shaking a vehicle before the driver abruptly sped into the densely packed street. A statement from the Los Cabos municipality confirmed the initial sequence of events, noting that the driver—who is now injured and in custody—rammed the crowd “for reasons yet to be determined by authorities.” Promising a thorough investigation into the crash, Deputy Mayor Jose Manuel Larumbe offered his sympathies, stating, “We are in full solidarity with the people and their families affected by this unfortunate incident tonight.”
