Military vehicle accident outside of San Felipe

The translation is palpable, but what throws me is the "tubing" part.

Maybe they are referring to the railing around that back of the hummer where the military guys ride.
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

I assumed it was a "Barney" mobile which is made of welded tubing to provide frame etc for use with VW bus steering, engine, transmission etc.

Maybe a tube-frame rail?
Isn't KM182 near Pete's Camp, or the Pemex?

ORIGINAL Spanish:Un grupo la 7 solados resultraron lesionados cuando el vehiclo Hummer en el que viajaban sobre a carretero a San Felipe volco,
traschocar contra un vehiculo entubado que se le atrviso al paso, el cual era conducio por un turisto estadoundense.
Based on 3 different translations =:
A group the 7 resultraron soldiers injured when vehicle Hummer they were travelling on a highway to San Felipe capsized, traschocar against a
vehicle tubing that is le atrviso to the passage, which was led by an estadoundense turisto.
MAYBE Transation would be different in Mexican instead of Spanish?

Km 182 is South of Campo Ocotillo by about half a kilometer. Near the Pelicano grocery store, which is just before the newest Pmex. Petes Camp and
the Pemex at road into El Dorodo is North of this by at least a mile

This is just about the same place one of the Saltido Road Pemex employees died in an accident when he had a blown tire and crossed the median strip
and hit an on coming SUV about two weeks ago.

How many times have you seen a buggy or rail not stop before they crossed Mex 5 in that area?
It is not as bad as it used to be before the major road improvements, but we still see people that seemingly do not realize they are crossing a major
road when they come to the Hwy.

Wow. I went online in an attempt to find a Mexican (rather than Spanish) translation for the word entubado. I clicked on a link for Wiktionary and
this is what they had under the word 'Mexican' as examples of use. Hater much? Except for the example about the dog, this is very negative and kind
of shocked me. And I can't find a Mexican-to-English online translator. Anyone else find one?
Examples of use:
•I hate Mexican food
•Mexican food is hot
•The toy company went bankrupt after the competition hired cheap Mexican labor
•a Mexican Hairless is about the size of a fox terrier and hairless except for a tufts on the head and tail
•financially hard-pressed Mexican hotels are lowering their prices
•this Mexican town has become a narco-state that ships 100 pounds of cocaine to the United States every day
