On Monday, January 20, a serious accident on the Cancun-Playa del Carmen highway caused significant traffic delays throughout the afternoon. Drivers heading from Cancun to Playa del Carmen experienced slow traffic on federal highway 307 due to the accident and rainfall in the area.

In the afternoon, a passenger bus collided with a trailer in a north-south direction, resulting in one fatality and at least six injuries. This tragic crash led to slow traffic from the early hours, with Google Maps indicating over two hours to reach the municipality of Solidaridad.

By 6:00 p.m., the traffic congestion extended to Puerto Morelos, prompting authorities to open a lane in the opposite direction to alleviate the vehicle load.
