Rains collapse roads in Aguascalientes; families and drivers rescued from floods

Heavy rainfall overnight and into Sunday has paralyzed road networks in Aguascalientes, Mexico, leading to significant flooding and trapping numerous families and drivers in their vehicles. The capital city, Aguascalientes, along with Jesús María and Rincón de Romo, experienced the most severe impact as boulevards and avenues became impassable.

Firefighters and Civil Protection personnel worked for hours to rescue individuals stranded in various parts of the capital and its metropolitan area. Assistance was provided to occupants of vehicles stuck in flooded areas, including the Parques Industrial del Valle de Aguascalientes, San Francisco de los Romo, and underpasses on the first ring road and the Zacatecas highway.

The state government reported that security forces from multiple municipalities are engaged in a coordinated operation to provide timely support. The Municipal Public Security Secretariat stated that traffic police assisted 42 vehicles that became stuck and closed 18 roads to prevent further risks. During the emergency, municipal police also transported families, including women and children, to their homes when they could not travel due to the storm and flooding.
