Overview

• The incident occurred Wednesday morning at Albino García and Juan A. Mateos in the Vista Alegre neighborhood of Mexico City’s Cuauhtémoc borough.
• The cavity measured about two meters in diameter and 1.5 meters deep and opened when the asphalt gave way under the truck’s weight.
• Firefighters and risk‑management personnel used an SSC CDMX brigadier crane to free the vehicle, and the driver was uninjured as the truck later returned to service.
• Authorities cordoned off the site, reported no immediate risk to nearby homes, and municipal crews with an excavator began inspections and repairs.
• Local reports note this is one of more than 150 sinkholes recorded across the city this year, renewing residents’ complaints about road maintenance during the rainy season.
