A person who injured 17 people last week while driving through a raucous crowd celebrating a victory for the Mexican national team has died from his own injuries sustained in the episode, the authorities in Mexico said.

The driver died Tuesday morning, less than a week after the crash in a popular tourist area of Cabo San Lucas, in the state of Baja California Sur, according to Alberto Rentería Santana, the secretary general of the Los Cabos City Council, on social media.

Five people, including the driver, remained in hospitals at least into Saturday evening, Mr. Rentería Santana said in a previous update about the crash. It happened Thursday night during a huge gathering in the Centro neighborhood after the Mexico men’s national soccer team beat the Czech Republic.

The driver had been surrounded by people blocking the way and putting “physical pressure” on the car, the General Directorate of Public Security of Los Cabos said in a statement on social media.

Several videos posted on social media and verified by The New York Times showed people shaking, hitting and throwing objects at a black sedan trapped on a street near a strip of bars by the city’s marina. The car accelerated into the crowd, hitting several people before crashing into a row of bollards.

A bloodied man was seen lying motionless on a nearby curb.

Local police did not immediately respond to requests for comment. In his statement Mr. Rentería Santana offered condolences to the family of the driver.

The Mexican national team has frequently drawn frenzied crowds pouring onto streets after games.
