did not consider "the conditions of the road

colliding with the Nissan brand vehicle
, type Urvan," added the Prosecutor's Office.
Laviano was driving the Suzuki Ertiga vehicle on the Tulum-Playa del Carmen highway, coming from Belize, heading from south to north, when
he lost control of the unit when exiting a curve
and colliding with the front left wheel on the sidewalk of the central median. Of the road.
This fact caused the vehicle to spin in the air and invaded the opposite lane, impacting the Nissan Urvan-type unit that was coming from the other side.
