- Two cargo trucks and three other vehicles caught fire, while a Mexican National Guard patrol truck was also damaged. Two National Guard officers were reported in serious condition and shifted to Magdalena Hospital in Guadalajara.
- Jalisco Civil Protection stated that "four patients in minor condition," all US citizens, were transferred to the Arboledas Hospital in Guadalajara by private ambulance from the highway.
