MEXICO CITY — An accident in Mexico’s capital left one woman dead and 57 injured after two trains collided early Saturday, the second major deadly accident in the city’s public transportation network since 2021.
Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said on Twitter that the crash happened on Line 3, between the Potrero and La Raza stations. The injured, including a train driver in serious condition, were taken to seven hospitals.
“Our priority is the victims and that there be justice,” Sheinbaum said at a news briefing Saturday afternoon in Mexico City. “There’s an investigation by the prosecutor’s office and investigators are there.”
