The government of Tlalnepantla, State of Mexico reported that the hailstorm on Monday afternoon caused the death of a driver of approximately 40 years, who was trapped inside his vehicle in a block of ice that formed the hailstorm and trapped several vehicles in an uneven bridge that crosses the Periférico Norte. Firefighters and elements of Civil Protection of the municipality worked hard for almost three hours to rescue the body of the man, who could not get out of his Aveo car and died of hypothermia.

The social communication office pointed out that on this uneven bridge there is a block of ice approximately 80 centimeters high accumulated, where firefighters and rescuers worked to break the iceberg and free the drivers. The overpass connects De Los Maestros avenues in Atizapán de Zaragoza with Mario Colín in Tlalnepantla.
A storm with hail fell this afternoon in the municipalities of Naucalpan, Atizapán de Zaragoza , Tlalnepantla and Huixquilucan, which caused streets and roads to become flooded with levels of more than 40 centimeters of water and hail.
The level of hail covered streets, cars, gardens and garages of houses in subdivisions such as Satélite, Lomas de Bellavista, Lomas Verdes and on the Via Jorge Jiménez Cantú that communicates with the Madín dam and Zona Esmeralda.
The flooding generated traffic congestion on primary roads such as the northern peripheral, Vía Gustavo Baz, Mario Colín and Adolfo López Mateos.
In the municipal seat of Atizapán de Zaragoza and the town of Calacoaya, the water and hail reached levels of 50 centimeters in height.
They also announced that the basement and first floor of the municipal palace were flooded, as happened several years ago.

Heavy rain on Princes Street causing flash flooding
Flooding in Edinburgh caused chaos and trains in and out of the city to be halted during devastating stormy Sunday weather.
Images on social media showed multiple streets of the Scottish capital awash with rain which also crept into homes, bars, businesses - and appeared to seep into a brand new shopping centre.
Emergency services attended some incidents including under one bridge in Chesser, where the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service could be seen helping vehicles which were stuck in the flooding.
A couple were also pictured by Dr Eoin Plant-O'Toole stuck at a bus stop on Roseburn Terrace where what he described as a "river" had formed.
S7 Airlines Airbus A320-200 experienced a hail storm while on a flight from Chelyabinsk to Moscow Domodedovo. Both outer windshield glasses were cracked. On July 3, Airbus A320-200 VP-BOL successfully landed at Domodedovo Airport about 2:20 hours after departure.
Mash, an aircraft passenger, stated, " We were heading to Moscow from Chelyabinsk on July 03 evening. The aircraft gained altitude when it suddenly found itself in a zone of turbulence and experienced a hail storm. But despite the broken windows, the pilots successfully landed the plane in Moscow and almost on time."
As a result, the aircraft from Chelyabinsk arrived 19 minutes delayed at Domodedovo - at 22:54.
Around 80 firefighters have been dispatched to tackle the fire, with the public urged to avoid the area
A major fire broke out at a coffin-making factory in Northern Ireland today after the building was reportedly struck by lightning.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said efforts to quell the blaze at O'Doherty and Sons Coffin and Casket manufacturers in Railway Street, Strabane, are likely to continue into Monday.
Around 80 firefighters have been dispatched to tackle the fire, with the public urged to avoid the area.
Comment: With what seems to be an increase in deadly strikes and close calls, it would appear that the nature of lightning is changing:
What is truth anyway? The truth is the essence of something, its natural state, something as it really is. It is really a quest for love, because to truly love something we must know it for what it really is. Perhaps we can sense in an unconscious way that there is a deeper truth to everything and everyone, and we are led to search for the truth about it, so that we can truly love it for what it really is.
