On May 12, 2026, on the Puebla-Orizaba highway at kilometer 238-240 in Cumbres de Maltrata, Mexico, a group of at least five armed assailants tried to stop a cargo truck using green laser pointers and high-intensity strobe lights to blind the driver [citation:2][citation:3][citation:8]. Standard robbery tactic in one of Mexico's most dangerous stretches for truckers. But this driver wasn't having it. Instead of braking, he floored it. The dashcam footage shows the truck barreling straight through the makeshift roadblock. One idiot didn't move fast enough. The 20-ton trailer ran him over. Reports suggest he died at the scene, though his buddies allegedly dragged his body away before police arrived [citation:1][citation:9][citation:10]. No charges filed against the driver. Because in Mexico, self-defense isn't a crime — and neither is cleaning up the gene pool.
