with. They would confiscate the truck, the tools, the person and whatever else they can get, sell, or hold for money/ransom. That's just how it is.
The guys that were killed were on the race course, where they shouldn't be. But that doesn't matter if you're a US citizen involved in an accident
in Mexico, you are always at fault. Always flee and let your insurance company negotiate in your behalf. It's not the US, it's not how it should
be, but it is, get over it. |
"Justice" on the spot would have been ugly
Bad deal all around,
but they did what I would have done in a similar situation
Had the victims been injured, I would have stayed
When they were obviously deceased it served no purpose to stay and subject yourself to further abuse.
