Unit 6648 of the Ministry of Public Security (SSP), assigned to the municipality of Maxcanú, in the southwest point of the state, was involved in a traffic incident in the municipality of Calkiní (state of Campeche), in which people were injured and Yucatecan police officers were detained in the neighboring state of Campeche.
According to the first investigations, the two crew members of the official vehicle followed a Honda Pilot truck from Halachó, Yucatán, whose driver disobeyed the police order to stop and drove at full speed across the state line.
The chase ended in the streets of Calkiní when the police vehicle collided with another truck and a motorcycle taxi.
The SSP sent a representative of the insurer to take care of matters related to coverage of medical expenses and material damage.
Likewise, through the Internal Affairs Unit, an investigation was opened into the conduct of the Yucatan police officers.
Yucatecan police officers handcuffed in Calkiní, Campeche
The agents were available to the competent authorities. In the accident, there were people injured and the SSP police officers were arrested by their Campeche counterparts.
The Campeche police officers drew their weapons, submitted, and handcuffed the Yucatan state police agents.
This fact occurs days after the controversy between the PAN candidate for governor, Renán Barrera Concha, and the Campechana governor, Layda Sansores, over security.
It is expected that the case will be resolved through legal means as it is presumed that the officers were doing their job and it was an unfortunate accident.
