Seguros Azteca to Cover Material Losses From Oaxaca Interoceanic Train Derailment

Prosecutors are analyzing the train’s black box to establish what caused the crash.

Overview

  • The December 28 derailment near Nizanda on Line Z left 13 people dead and about 100 injured.
  • Seguros Azteca holds the Ferrocarril del Istmo de Tehuantepec patrimonial policy with a 71.5 million‑peso annual premium and roughly 36 million pesos in per‑event coverage for traction equipment.
  • The policy applies to material damage to 63 locomotives and 47 passenger cars, while victim compensation is handled separately through institutional mechanisms.
  • The Fiscalía General de la República reports necropsies are complete and continues document reviews, field work, unit inspections, interviews, and analysis of the event data recorder.
  • Authorities reported 241 passengers and nine crew on board, and the government deployed white buses labeled Corredor Interoceánico to transport affected travelers.
