Ice Makes Road to Rumorosa Hazardous (Tijuana Press, 12/31/12 by Vicente Calderón)

Tijuana, BC - The road between La Rumorosa and Mexicali continues to be open but traffic is slow due to hazardous conditions generated by cold temperatures. Alfredo Escobedo, Civil Protection Director in the State, reported bad weather was responsible for three accidents, one of which caused a fatality.

The fatal mishap occurred at approximately 5:30 a.m. when a couple traveling in a pick up truck crashed at Km 79, causing the death of a woman. More details on the tragedy have not been provided.

In the other two accidents there were injuries but none considered serious, said Escobedo Ortiz in an interview with Tijuanapress.com. Weather conditions and the accident led to the closure of a stretch of road and was reopened shortly before 10 a.m. on Monday, said the state official.

Ice on the asphalt was extremely dangerous as evidenced by the accidents. The police maintained road surveillance and traffic is slow with vehicles moving in caravans led by federal police patrols. Cold temperatures caused the temporary closure of the road because the road icy which made it extremely dangerous.

The forecast is for partly cloudy skies with light winds and low temperatures, reported by FIARUM, responsible for the road section between Sentinel-Rumorosa. The Director of Civil Protection said there is passage between Tecate and Mexicali, but only by taking extreme precautions and traffic can be very slow with the measures imposed by the federal roads safety patrols. He clarified that there is no snow or rain forecasted, but will have to wait until the road thaws for its return to normalcy.
