According to media sources, the car toppled on the Leon-Aguascalientes highway in the town of Lagos de Moreno on Saturday, according to the Jalisco Civil Protection and Fire Department. According to Neftali Guillen, regional head of the state civil protection agency, the disaster killed eight men and four women, two of whom were minors.
