Overview

  • Seven passengers were injured when trolleybus no. 21027 collided with a compact car at Eje Central and José Tomás Cuéllar in Colonia Obrera on July 27.
  • The crash occurred after the compact car cut into the trolleybus’s reserved lane while signaling a right turn and the trolleybus driver braked too late to avoid impact.
  • Two women were transported to a hospital—one with head injuries and another with clavicle pain—while medical teams treated the remaining injured on site.
  • City transport authorities cited this accident as part of recurring right-of-way conflicts in Mexico City’s mixed-traffic transit lanes.
  • Drivers involved in low-risk collisions are advised to self-assess and report to Tránsito y Vialidad, Cruz Roja or ERUM for proper medical and legal procedures.
