Footage shows how the military pulls civilians out of a pickup truck, which had just sped into a wall after a chase. Four of the five civilians died instantly and one died later in hospital.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador acknowledged what happened and assured that "that cannot be allowed" This is not the first time that a similar event has occurred, since just last February soldiers also killed five young people in Nuevo Laredo, on the border with the United States.
