A tragic accident at the Mexico-US border resulted in the death of a Venezuelan migrant and left several others injured, including a child with severe fractures. The incident occurred on the Chihuahua-Juárez highway, where the vehicle they were traveling in overturned.
Authorities responded promptly to the scene to investigate the accident. The Red Cross of Mexico provided medical assistance to the injured, including transporting a critically injured child with head trauma to a hospital in Chihuahua.
The driver of the vehicle, who was transporting the migrants out of altruism, was headed towards Ciudad Juárez in northern Mexico. The tragic incident has sparked criticism from religious figures, with Father Juan Carlos López condemning the inhumane migration policies that contributed to the accident.
The lack of a legal framework for migrants to access commercial transportation has forced them to resort to unsafe means of travel, such as hitchhiking and walking on highways. The incident underscores the challenges and risks faced by undocumented migrants seeking a better life in Mexico.
The identification of the deceased Venezuelan migrant, Luis Pastor Quero, serves as a reminder of the harsh realities of migration and the dangers faced by those seeking a new beginning. The tragic event sheds light on the harsh conditions and risks that undocumented migrants endure during their journey.
