Overview

  • Both crash sites on Circuito Interior and near the AICM Metro Terminal have been cleared and traffic lanes reopened to motorists.
  • One driver escaped the fire with only a hand injury and did not require hospital care, while the other was taken to a hospital and his condition remains unconfirmed.
  • Units from the Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana, Heroico Cuerpo de Bomberos and ERUM swiftly controlled the blaze, treated the drivers and managed roadway closures.
  • Investigators are probing conflicting cause narratives—testimonies report a road protrusion triggered the first rollover and drowsiness led to the second collision with a heavy trailer.
  • Officials have issued heightened safety warnings for key airport access routes prone to traffic congestion and surface irregularities.
