The truck driver Ismael Alonso was released after the suspension of the criminal process against him and the lifting of the precautionary measure. After being freed, he went to the FGE headquarters, where his family and colleagues were waiting for him. The latter removed their trucks, except for one tarpaulin in protest, under the threat of losing their concessions and mobility permits.
The governor of Nayarit, Miguel Ángel Navarro Quintero, assured that despite the traffic disruptions, he would not revoke permits or concessions from transporters. The intervention of the governor and lawmakers was crucial in convincing the driver's wife to make the corresponding payment, which allowed for the formalization of an agreement and the release of the driver.
The ballad "Innocent Cañero" composed by Chava Ramírez celebrates Ismael Alonso's return to his work life. The song narrates the driver's perspective, detained for alleged negligent homicide after a road accident in which a cyclist died. According to protesters and truck drivers, the driver did not attempt to flee and cooperated with the authorities, and videos would demonstrate that the cyclist invaded the truck's lane.
The state attorney general, Petronilo Díaz Ponce, clarified that the Attorney's Office did not request preventive imprisonment and it was the judge who imposed it, labeling the driver as "a danger to society." Social pressure due to blockades at the exits of Tepic and the forgiveness granted by the cyclist's family are mentioned in the song.
The governor of Nayarit confirmed that the option to repair the damage was offered to suspend the legal process, but initially, it was not possible to contact the legal representative of the victim. Finally, the payment for the damage repair was completed, which allowed for the release of Ismael Alonso.
