Legend[]
A long time ago, on the La Rumorosa highway, a truck driver was driving at full speed towards Mexicali, because his wife was about to give birth and he wanted to get home quickly, since he had money for whatever was offered, plus when he was going to take a dangerous curve he lost control and crashed into some rocks. The driver got out of the trailer all stunned, looked at his body and was happy to realize that nothing had happened to him. So he waited for someone to come by to help him or take him to the city, but for a long time no one crossed those hills. The man fell asleep and when he woke up he was surprised to see everything dark; He did not understand what was happening so he decided to walk, he walked and walked, he advanced a good distance, he knew that the exit of the rumor was close and yet when he realized he found himself in the same place of the accident... After three days they found the truck but not the driver; nothing was heard of him. Until on one occasion, years later, a boy who was driving a trailer stopped because a man waved him over.
