12 Injured as Two Metrobús Buses Collide Near Xola Underpass in Mexico City

Preliminary findings point to slippery conditions from rain as the cause.

Overview

  • The crash occurred around 7:19 p.m. Friday at Eje 4 Sur Xola and Petén in Colonia Narvarte, under the Xola underpass.
  • Metrobús reported a rear‑end impact after unit 3308 stopped at the underpass exit and unit 373 hit its rear on the wet roadway.
  • Authorities counted 12 injured passengers, with two transferred for hospital evaluation, including a mother and her 12‑month‑old, and no injuries reported as grave.
  • Firefighters, Protección Civil and SSC responded as Metrobús staff, the operator and the insurer performed on‑site assessments, and service and traffic were restored after roughly two hours.
  • Officials identify the corridor as Line 2 toward Tacubaya, though some outlets cited Line 3, a discrepancy to be resolved through ongoing peritajes.
