In 2015, a train that did not stop on time crashed into another at the Oceania station, injuring 12. In March of last year, a collision between two trains at the Tacubaya station left one passenger dead and injured 41 people. The Mexico City Metro has had at least two serious accidents since its inauguration half a century ago. “A support beam gave way” just as the train passed over it, Sheinbaum said. The overpass was about 5 meters (16 feet) above the road in the borough of Tlahuac, but the train ran above a concrete median strip, which apparently lessened the casualties among motorists on the road below. “There are unfortunately children among the dead,” Sheinbaum said, without specifying how many. She said 49 of the injured were hospitalized, and that seven were in serious condition and undergoing surgery. “We don’t know if they are alive,” Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said of the people possibly trapped inside the car following one of the deadliest accidents in the city’s subway system, which is among the busiest in the world.Įarlier Sheinbaum said someone had been pulled alive from a car that was trapped on the road below. A crane was brought in to help shore it up.
Those efforts were suspended early Tuesday, however, because of safety concerns for those working near the precariously dangling car. Rescuers searched a car left dangling from the overpass for hours for anyone who might be trapped. MEXICO CITY (AP) - An elevated section of the Mexico City metro collapsed and sent a subway car plunging toward a busy boulevard late Monday, killing at least 23 people and injuring about 70, city officials said.
