American couple trapped in Puerto Vallarta during first trip away from son, four, tell family where to find their WILLS as cartel violence kills 14, resorts run out of food and Cancun vacationers ordered to shelter in place

‘The road is closed due to the cartel. There are no flights going out of the airport to the States. We’ve rescheduled them for tomorrow afternoon, really hoping we make it home,’ she said in a video.

‘Just going to pray we make it home tomorrow. This is unprecedented here; the hotel staff have been saying this has never happened before.’

Another tourist, Dan Smith, from the Palm Springs area, shared a video that appeared to show him running down a staircase as alarms rang in the background, while a Mexican woman ordered him outside.

He said in the clip: ‘We’re evacuating the building, propane tanks have exploded. Hoping the building doesn’t catch on fire.’

His brother Richard uploaded more footage from Daniel showing a bus in flames and other blazing vehicles blocking the roads of Puerto Vallarta.
