Jimenez, Chih.- Dozens of Jimenez residents immediately began to loot the tons of corn thrown away by the train that derailed in that town on Monday afternoon, but the authorities were unable to stop the looting.
At least 20 pickup trucks were strategically placed to be immediately loaded with corn, but despite their surveillance efforts, the authorities were unable to stop the flock of looters.
This afternoon, a train loaded with tons of corn derailed in Ciudad Jiménez, and hours after the accident, residents of Jiménez continue to loot the seed.
The incident occurred on the Jiménez-Escalón route, near the San Francisco dam, when the train loaded with several tons of corn derailed for reasons unknown at this time, spilling the load for several meters around where the huge wagons were overturned. Ferromex workers suspect that the derailment could have been caused, but it will not be until they have the evidence that they will issue any statement.
Almost immediately, several Jimenez residents tried to illegally seize the product.
According to the first data from Ferromex workers, the losses are in the millions due to the damage to all the wagons and the loss of the product. They confirmed that there are no injured people.
