### Prime Wheel in Tijuana Faces Possible Closure Following Tragic Worker Death
A tragic incident at the Prime Wheel facility in Tijuana has raised serious safety concerns and may lead to the complete closure of the plant. This follows the unfortunate death of a worker who was fatally injured by a machine. The governor, Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda, has announced that authorities are in talks with the State General Prosecutor’s Office and both state and federal labor secretariats to thoroughly assess the situation at the facility.
The factory, which provides around 5,000 jobs in Baja California, is under scrutiny after the incident and for another unresolved case involving the disappearance of Servando Salazar Cano. Salazar vanished in August after entering the plant, and efforts to locate him have been unsuccessful. Authorities have reportedly secured the section of the factory linked to his disappearance, although it is deemed a different area from where the recent fatal accident occurred.
The governor has emphasized the importance of respecting labor rights amidst the ongoing investigations. Families of the deceased worker are calling for the closure of the plant, and the situation remains tense as two employees are currently facing charges related to Salazar’s disappearance.
