At least 23 people were killed and dozens more were injured after an overpass for the Mexico City Metro collapsed on Monday night, sending a subway car full of passengers plunging toward a bustling boulevard below.
The collapse occurred at around 10:30 p.m. local time on the newest of Mexico City's subway lines, Line 12, which runs underground through more central areas of Mexico's densely populated capital but then emerges onto elevated structures along the outskirts. A support beam "gave way" just as the train passed over it in the southern borough of Tlahuac, according to Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum.
