Gas Leak at Texcoco Ice Factory Controlled; Two Workers Hospitalized

A gas leak at an ice factory in the Texcoco neighborhood of San Pedro was brought under control with no major consequences, following a swift response from local authorities. The incident began when municipal police on patrol noticed a strong gas odor reported by residents near the ice factory on Leandro Valle street.

Factory personnel were already in the process of evacuating the premises when police arrived. Officers immediately cordoned off the area and requested assistance from the Texcoco Civil Protection and Fire Department. Technicians from the factory, supported by the emergency teams, successfully sealed the ruptured pipe and stopped the leak.

Paramedics assessed ten individuals at the scene, including factory employees, nearby residents, and office workers. Among those evaluated, two male factory workers exhibited symptoms of gas inhalation. They were subsequently transported to a nearby hospital, where their condition is reported as stable.

Elements from the State of Mexico's Security Secretariat assisted in managing the situation by temporarily closing streets and rerouting traffic. The coordinated efforts of the Municipal Police, Civil Protection, and Fire Department ensured the incident was contained within an hour.
