The 21st Century Highway, which connects the Port of Lázaro Cárdenas with other important roads in Mexico, is a route traveled daily by hundreds of trailers transporting goods. However, this road is also known among drivers and locals as the “Highway of Death”due to the frequency of accidents that occur in it, some of which result in human tragedies.
The Michoacán Civil Protection team has initially communicated about the accident through its social media account, asking drivers to take extreme precautions due to the temporary closure of the road to allow for cleaning and recovery work.
If you are en route from Lazaro Cardenas toward Morelia or from Uruapan towards Lázaro Cárdenas, patience is recommended, as the road will remain closed for an indeterminate time. In the meantime, it is advisable to explore alternative routes to avoid unnecessary delays on your journey.
