Overview
- Firefighters released gas and closed the emergency valve to stop the leak after a pipa struck a vehicle on Avenida Tláhuac in Santa Ana Poniente.
- The SGIRPC reported the tanker was at roughly 7% capacity, a visible gas cloud formed during the planned discharge, and authorities later towed the unit.
- No fatalities were reported, nearby businesses were not affected, and the driver received medical attention for a nervous crisis, according to police reports.
- Excélsior reported the unit belongs to Mexicana de Gas of Grupo Tomza, drawing renewed attention after the deadly Sept. 10 explosion in Iztapalapa.
- City leaders recently outlined tighter rules for hazardous cargo transport, including a 30 km/h cap, route and time restrictions, and E-12 licenses, as a separate Pemex-branded tanker crash on Circuito Interior caused no injuries.
