oooh noooo!
Stupid is as stupid does.
Take the jeep.
I have heard that the Jeeps for rent on Cozumel have all had their 4WD disabled to discourage renters from doing this kind of stupid... stuff.

The only slightly good thing is that while I gather the Jeep was a rental, that guy (Adrian E.M.L.) might have been from Mexico. The article doesn’t say anything about his being an extranjero.
I looked at few articles but they all said exactly the same thing (no indication of nationality ). While it does scream stupid tourist , I am just not sure if it was a foreign tourist
Anyone see something that indicated where he was from?

That is my guess, as well. If it was a foreign tourist, wouldn’t the authorities have filed something with the applicable embassy or consulate?

in Mexico for most things they haul you to jail and sort it out there (even for most traffic accidents) . I am sure they are required to allow access to the consulate , but it would be from jail. It is more than a little bit ridiculous to go to jail for a traffic accident while carrying proof of insurance , but that is the way it evidently works
Thankfully I haven’t experienced it first hand , but I gather the whole thing is a mess. I think your first call should be to your insurance agent (if not driving a rental ) because they will be extremely important in getting you out
