Girl, 3, Killed by Delivery Truck at Cuernavaca Roundabout During Street Solicitation

Morelos prosecutors are weighing charges under child‑exploitation laws after detaining the delivery driver, the child's aunt.

Overview

  • The child was struck near the Glorieta de la Luna on Avenida Plan de Ayala on Wednesday, according to local reports and authorities.
  • Security footage and a widely shared clip appear to show the girl dancing between vehicles to request money shortly before the fatal crash.
  • Transit police detained the delivery driver at the scene and transferred him to the Ministerio Público for a decision on his legal status.
  • Authorities arrested the aunt on suspicion of omission of care, with officials reporting the mother had abandoned the child about seven months earlier.
  • The Fiscalía General del Estado de Morelos opened an investigation and sent the body to the Servicio Médico Forense, as residents renew calls to curb the exploitation of minors in traffic under laws that carry prison terms and fines.
