Seven people were killed and another three were injured in Jalisco on Tuesday when a cargo truck tipped over onto a family’s pickup on the Jalostotitlán-Tepatitlán highway near San Miguel del Alto about 122 kilometers northeast of Guadalajara.

The truck, which was transporting bicycles, sustained a mechanical fault, according to one report.

The driver lost control and the truck tipped over, killing the two men traveling inside, and severely injuring another.
