A truck driver rams his truck into criminals to avoid being robbed on the Cuacnopalan-Oaxaca highway.
On Wednesday, July 30, around 10:20 p.m., near Tehuacán, Puebla, he was surrounded, shot at, and told to stop, but he made a decision that would change everything.
A truck driver foiled an attempted robbery by ramming the vehicle in which his attackers were traveling.
The incident occurred Wednesday night on the Cuacnopalan-Oaxaca highway, at kilometer 98+200. Armed individuals in a maroon Renault compact car blocked the truck’s path while firing shots to force it to stop.
Refusing to give in to the attack, the driver accelerated and rammed his vehicle into them, crashing the car. The incident forced the criminals to flee on foot, leaving their vehicle behind.
Motorists passing through the area alerted emergency services. CAPUFE paramedics arrived at the scene and confirmed that the driver was unharmed, although the truck suffered significant damage.
