The driver of the car, who remains unidentified, ploughed through the crowd of people wearing Mexico’s national football team shirts. Several videos posted on social media showed a black car surrounded by a crowd of people, which then accelerated, throwing people into the air and crashing into billboards.

Informing about the incident, Los Cabos’ Acting Mayor Jose Manuel Larumbe said, “I would ‌like ⁠to express our deepest solidarity with the people affected and their families following the unfortunate events that occurred tonight,” while promising to keep the public informed about the ongoing probe into the case, Reuters reported.
