Querencia Los Cabos Case Summary: What Happened, What Is Under Investigation and What Prosecutors Asked For
This Querencia Los Cabos case summary starts on March 25, 2025, when a RAM 700 truck bearing Querencia markings rear-ended a golf cart in San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico. 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) for four offenses. On July 15, 2026, the state Public Prosecutor's Office (Ministerio Público), which investigates crimes and brings charges, asked a judge for a charging hearing for three parties, court records show.
The essentials
- What happened: A RAM 700 truck bearing Querencia markings rear-ended a golf cart carrying one adult and three minors.
- When and where: March 25, 2025, on Boulevard Querencia, inside the Querencia Los Cabos development in San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico.
- The girl: A 5-year-old girl was thrown from the cart. Her discharge order records that she was hospitalized from March 25 to March 28, 2025.
- How the authorities found out: From Hospital H+ Los Cabos, not from Querencia staff.
- Who: The driver and the club's doctor are both under investigation. Querencia Construcciones, S. de R.L. de C.V. (a Mexican limited-liability company form, roughly comparable to a U.S. LLC), is named in the prosecutors' July 15, 2026 request for a charging hearing.
- The request: On July 15, 2026, prosecutors asked a pretrial judge (Juez de Control), who oversees the investigation stage, to hold a charging hearing (audiencia de imputación), where prosecutors may formally bring charges. It is not a trial. Court records show the judge set the hearing for August 26, 2026.
- What is under investigation: Four offenses: unintentional bodily injury, property damage, failure to render aid (omisión de auxilio) and failure to file a medical report (omisión de informe médico).
- August 26: On August 26, 2026, the hearing was postponed to September 30, 2026, after the judge asked prosecutors for the name of the legal representative of the company under investigation.
