Inbound traffic on a stretch of the Guadalajara-Ocotlán highway running through the outskirts of Ixtalhuacán de los Membrillos was detoured on the afternoon of Sunday, January 27 due to a heavy blanket of smoke caused by a brush fire that broke out on adjacent land.
Flames spread to a makeshift roadside tire repair stand, engulfing a pick-up truck and around 100 tires.
