Vehicle drives into crowd in Cabo San Lucas after Mexico win

More than a dozen people were injured on Wednesday night when a vehicle drove through a crowd in the tourist resort of Cabo San Lucas during celebrations after Mexico’s World Cup match victory. Los Cabos’s local authorities said the vehicle was surrounded by a group of people and, for reasons to be determined by the competent authority, drove through the crowd, injuring several people.

A total of 17 people received medical treatment, the statement confirmed, including the driver, who was arrested. Multiple visuals posted on social media and verified by Reuters show a black car surrounded by a crowd of people wearing Mexico shirts; the car then accelerated into the crowd, throwing people into the air before crashing into bollards.

Other videos verified by Reuters show the crowd pulling someone from the car and attacking them, while multiple people are seen injured on the ground in unknown condition.
