More than 50 other people have been reported injured. Candidate Jorge Alvarez Maynez wrote in his social media accounts that he went to a hospital after the accident at a campaign rally in the wealthy suburb of San Pedro Garza Garcia, near the city of Monterrey.

He said there were "victims," but did not say how many or how badly they were hurt. Alvarez Maynez wrote that he was "well," but did not specify why he went to the hospital. "The only important thing at this point is to care for the victims of the accident," he wrote.
