On May 3, at 10:22 p.m., a viaduct support underneath a moving Mexico City Metro train collapsed, causing the train to crash onto a busy street underneath. The death toll was at least 23, and more than 70 were injured.
The wreck occurred near the Olivos Station on Line 12, the newest on the Mexico City Metro, which is operated by STC (Sistema de Transporte Colectivo). Two cars of the seven-car CAF FE-10 transit partially fell onto a busy main road. Some of those killed or injured were in vehicles underneath the viaduct.
