Why Prosecutors Opened an Investigation Into the Querencia Los Cabos Crash: Four Offenses
The Querencia Los Cabos investigation in San José del Cabo, Mexico, was opened for four offenses: unintentional bodily injury, failure to render aid, property damage and failure to file a medical report. The Baja California Sur state attorney general's office (Procuraduría General de Justicia del Estado de Baja California Sur) opened an investigation file (carpeta de investigación), its written record. Investigators inspected a golf cart on March 25, 2025, and a RAM 700 truck on March 26.
Which offenses
The file was opened for four offenses. In plain English:
- Unintentional bodily injury (lesiones culposas): injuries caused without intent.
- Failure to render aid (omisión de auxilio): not helping an injured person or someone in danger.
- Property damage: damage to property.
- Failure to file a medical report (omisión de informe médico): not giving the authorities the medical notice of someone's injuries.
These are the offenses under investigation. Opening a file for them does not mean anyone committed them.
What investigators did
On March 25, 2025, at 2:59 p.m., the prosecutors' early-attention unit (Unidad de Atención Temprana) notified investigative police (Policía de Investigación). That unit works with the state Public Prosecutor's Office (Ministerio Público), which investigates crimes and brings charges before a judge.
At 6:23 p.m. that day, the golf cart was inspected in the club's parking lot. The inspection records an impact at the rear.
On March 26, 2025, at 12:26 p.m., the RAM 700 was inspected at a body shop, not at the scene. Its grille, bumper, hood and front frame were damaged.
The same day, the driver, who is under investigation, gave an interview to an investigating agent. What he said is covered in the crash behind the case.
In an interview on March 25, 2025, the on-call doctor at Hospital H+ Los Cabos told an investigating agent that a 5-year-old girl had injuries that "may put her life at risk" (translated from Spanish). According to her discharge order, a CT scan ruled out brain or spinal injury.
