Cyclist Killed by Mexico City Metrobús Line 5 After Entering Confined Lane, Authorities Say

Prosecutors will determine the operator's legal status following cyclist protests over road safety.

Overview

  • The fatal collision occurred on December 2 along Avenida Eduardo Molina near the Río Santa Coleta station in Gustavo A. Madero.
  • Metrobús cited onboard camera footage indicating the cyclist emerged from between cars and moved into the bus-only lane just before impact.
  • The operator stopped the vehicle, requested emergency services, and paramedics confirmed the cyclist had no vital signs at the scene.
  • Per protocol, the driver was detained and presented to judicial authorities, and the Mexico City attorney general's office will establish responsibility.
  • Cyclists later blocked a stretch of Avenida de los Insurgentes to demand stronger protections, with recent deaths and Semovi data on earlier 2025 fatalities cited as context.
