Mexico Fires Official After 2 Die In Highway Sinkhole




MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexico's federal transportation agency has fired its local representative for not responding immediately to warnings of problems before a sinkhole opened in a major highway and caused the deaths of two men. Federal Transportation Secretary Gerardo Ruiz Esparza also says in a Thursday statement that he has instructed his agency's legal department to pursue legal action against those responsible. Early Wednesday, a sinkhole spanning two lanes on the recently redone highway connecting Mexico City and the Pacific coast resort of Acapulco opened near Cuernavaca. The victims' car drove into it and landed upside down. Ruiz Esparza acknowledged on Radio Formula that the department's Morelos state office received a letter July 3 from residents warning that a drain was overwhelmed and a highway wall was about to collapse. Rescue workers use a crane to lift a vehicle that drove into a sinkhole on a highway in Cuernavaca, Mexico, Wednesday, July 12, 2017. A father and son were killed when the deep sinkhole swallowed their car on Wednesday morning. Civil protection rescuers reached the rubble-covered Volkswagen Jetta lying on its roof at the bottom of the hole in the afternoon, after working for more than eight hours on the closed section of road.

With all the trucks, SUVs and crossovers crowding showrooms these days, it鈥檚 refreshing to come across a sporty sedan like Volkswagen鈥檚 Jetta that also represents high value. Jetta was restyled for 2019 and mostly that鈥檚 all good news.

And get this, the new Jetta is bigger and better equipped than its predecessor. In fact, VW has been improving Jettas for a while. This is the seventh generation Jetta, a nameplate that has been around now for 40 years.
