In Cunduacán, a cargo truck veered off the road and fell into the Samaria River, causing the driver's death in an accident that occurred overnight. Despite the efforts of neighbors to rescue the co-pilot, they could only save him. The tragedy did not prevent residents from approaching the river in boats the following day to loot the merchandise that floated from the overturned trailer.
In the images and videos of the incident, a dozen looters can be seen carrying out this aquatic pillaging in small boats. The moment they entered the partially submerged trailer to extract bottles of ketchup was even recorded, which they transported in sacks pulled by ropes to the bridge, where another group was in charge of receiving the stolen goods.
The Civil Protection of Tabasco reported that traffic was temporarily closed on the road to allow for rescue efforts and assistance to those affected, thanking the residents for their cooperation in the rescue actions. The actions of the looters have generated controversy on social media, and the videos of the aquatic theft have been widely shared, exposing the difficulties and dangers of this criminal act.
