A five-year-old girl has died after clinging to her mother who threw herself from a moving vehicle during an argument with her husband.
The incident, which took place on the highway between Chapala and Mezcala, is currently under investigation by the Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office.
According to preliminary reports, as the argument escalated, the woman opened a door and threw herself from the moving vehicle. The girl, trying to hold on to her mother, also fell onto the road.
Despite efforts by the Chapala Red Cross, the girl succumbed to her injuries, while the mother was largely unhurt.
