The brakes on the truck, which was transporting shampoo base, apparently failed before it crashed into the toll booth and then the vehicles on Saturday, according to a statement from Mexico's Federal Roads and Bridges and Related Services agency.
The smash ignited a large fire on the highway connecting Mexico City with the state of Puebla.
Videos posted on social media showed some of the vehicles involved in the accident engulfed in flames, while others near the toll booth were completely destroyed.
