Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said on her Twitter account that the accident happened on Line 3 of the capital’s Metro system, without specifying the cause of the crash between the Potrero and La Raza stations
Sheinbaum said one person was killed and 16 were taken to hospitals for injuries. But officials later raised the number of injured to 41. Four people who were trapped in the trains were rescued.
Edgar Montiel, an electrician who was on one on the trains, said he felt lucky because he had decided at the last minute to enter the next-to-last car rather than the rearmost car, which was smashed up in the crash. He said he remained on the floor of the car with several passengers amid screams and cries asked for help.
