The vehicle was discovered on a dirt road in Temascalapa near the border with Hidalgo, the Mexican state with the highest homicide rate.

Many American companies have moved their filming from Mexico to Australia, Colombia, South Africa, Canada and Cuba because of the violence in the South American country.
