Video translation is as follows:

Dear friends, good evening again. The following occurred on February 21, 2020 somewhere in the state of Tabasco. 2 young tourists were driving down a dirt road when they were intercepted by an armed criminal cell who mistook them for their enemies.

The video was published by user Aarón Pace according to the comments of different users regarding that video. The young men had come to watch birds and were on vacation.

In the images of the video, it is observed that the young individuals pass through an unpopulated place when they realize that they are being chased by a truck that seeks to overtake them at full speed.

The driver becomes extremely nervous while his partner tries to reassure him. Meters later the youths are intercepted by an armed criminal cell of men who get out of their truck pointing their weapons at them.

Once the hitmen make sure that it’s not their enemies who want to heat up their plaza, but rather 2 gringo tourists who were lost, they let them go, but not before warning them that they shouldn’t circulate in their area.

One of the hit men, who even spoke a bit of English, told the young men that he had been working in Las Vegas for 4 years. This was the reason why he could communicate with them to whom he says “No problem, no problem”.

After the events, the youths were released and it is stated that they immediately bought a ticket to return to the United States.

Both were unharmed and everything was nothing more than a strong scare. According to the coordinates that appear in the video, the events happened exactly in Huimanguillo, Tabasco, in the town of Isidro Cortez Rueda.
