CV NEWS FEED // At least 16 people were injured on October 27 when a stolen truck reportedly struck a crowd outside Guadalajara Cathedral in Jalisco, Mexico, following the “March for Women and Life.” A suspect is now in custody.

The Guadalajara city government announced on X that the suspect allegedly stole a pickup truck near a local market and drove it toward the cathedral plaza in an apparent attempt to evade capture, colliding with the pro-life demonstration crowd in the process.

Local authorities have confirmed that most of the injured were participants in the march, which was organized by the National Front for the Family, Diario de Yucatán reported.

Guadalajara Mayor Verónica Delgadillo García addressed the incident on X, confirming that only two of the injured remain under medical observation in the hospital, while others were treated and released.

Journalist Joaquín López-Dóriga shared a video that captured the moment of the collision.

Guadalajara’s Secretary-General Manuel Romo informed reporters that the injured included a range of individuals, some as young as 14. He also confirmed that a suspect had been detained in connection with the incident, according to Diario de Yucatán.

The National Front for the Family condemned the event as an “assault on peaceful expression and faith-based demonstration.” The organization added, “Acts like this only contribute to generating more violence in the country” and called on authorities to take immediate action to prevent further violence.

The pro-life organization concluded, “We SUPPORT LIFE at any stage and circumstance and accompany the victims and their families in our prayers.”

Isn’t the stolen truck driver entitled to the right to free expression?

OK, the “stolen truck” part needs work...

6,000,000 foot pounds of kinetic energy, that is an assault vehicle and needs to be outlawed. Idiot triggering off.

The story doesn’t seem to match up well with the video recording. In it, the driver enters the plaza, with no other vehicle giving chase. Once on the plaza, the vehicle is directed towards the crowd. Could be as reported (’just trying to escape’), but it kinda doesn’t look exactly that way.
